Excerpt from Tom McC email:
“Sadly, in California, Republican leaders tried to campaign to the left of the Democrats and the result was disastrous. While the rest of the country was celebrating historic Republican gains (including a net gain of at least 61 U.S. House Seats, 6 U.S. Senate Seats, 680 state legislative seats, 19 state legislatures and seven governors), the statewide Republican ticket in California imploded and Republicans actually lost a legislative seat in the Assembly. Republicans nationally now hold more state legislative seats than in any year since 1928, except in California were they hold fewer than at any time since 1978!”
