Whitman was a horrible candidate. She would've lost with no opponent. Whitman is arrogant and snobbish. She is ¡Hillary! without the charm!

No Republican went out of their way to vote for either woman. Don't forget, this is the same liberal state that did manage to vote FOR Prop 8 (keeping the definition of marriage between one man and one woman) in 2008.

While true, that was an aberration -- the huge numbers that turned out for Obama were based largely on hispanics and blacks there, and they (at the time) opposed homosexual marriage. That wouldn't be the case today.. by a long shot.

According to the Public Policy Institute of California, that state's political demographic is D+15. No GOPer will win there.
