Have a few freinds in CA. They seem to be as conservative as they come. So why is CA a given to Dems?

Half are caucasion liberals; the other half are immigrants looking for a handout from the government. It is only natural they vote for a scumbag traitor like Hanoi John Kerry.

Left there almost 30 years ago. Glad to live and shoot in a free state!

GO BUSH!!!

Simple, we have something like 60%Dems/30%Repubs/10%others registered. If all of the Repubs vote for Bush, just based on the shear number of Dems, Bush will never win. This state is solidly Dem territory.

CA may be divided along an east-west axis.  The eastern half is more conservative and the west is the flaming left coast socialist republik.

Because all the fruits and nuts moved there in the 60's or so, and all the illegals move there to get DLs.

Because many of the Leftists in other states have moved here.  Native-born Californians are much like people in other states, but we get the political refugees from all over the USA.  They have tipped the balance, unfortunately.

It wasn't always this way. Reagan carried the state, after all.

During the 80's and 90's there was an influx of illegals and lefty, upscale types in the bay area. The SF bay area heavily tilts democratic, the southern california area somewhat less so. San Diego offsets LA to an extent.

A lot of the areas in the Sierras and the northern portions are classic Western states resource extraction demographics and vote Republican. They don't have nearly enough population to offset the big cities, though.

They never learn

Voting to fund stem cell research and add 200 million in debt yearly for the next 30 years after a BIG budget crisis.
Voting to let criminals out of jail by lessening 3 strikes law.
Voting to tax only the rich for mental health programs.  Legislature will then cut monies from general fund.
Voting to force employers to provide health insurance or pay state to provide it.
Voting to fund emergency rooms.  Legislature will then cut monies from general fund.
Voting to fund children's hospital project with $750 million in bonds (+750 million in interest).  Legislature will cut outlays to childrens' health projects from general fund.

All these are carrying by substantial margins.

Because it is after all "THE LAND OF FRUITS AND NUTS" and a few conservatives they hold hostage by virtue of being a paradise outside of politics!

You guys in the North need to try to split CA into North and South.  That would KILL the electoral college for the democraps.



The South is more conservative with San Diego and Orange County.

No bastions of conservativism in the north except Alpine County.

C-Span as of 12:20am EST has 12% of Precintcts reporting in for California. 46/52 with Kerry in the lead.
Oh shit, California Senate race got a lot closer since the last time I looked between Boxer/Jones. 55/42 with Boxer in the lead of course.  I'm amazed at how close the race is in California.
Nader has been removed from the charts all together.
