For every registered Republican in California, there are over 2 registered Democrats.

California is a blue state, almost like Massachusetts or New York.

An excerpt:

“THE COMPOSITION OF ELECTORATE HAS SHIFTED SINCE LAST GUBERNATORIAL ELECTION.
The number of registered voters in California rose by more than one million between the November 2006 gubernatorial election and the June 2010 gubernatorial primary (from 15.8 to 17 million), and the composition of the electorate has shifted. Democrats constitute 44.5% of registered voters (up 3 points since 2006), Republicans make up 30.8% (down 3.5 points), and decline-to-state or independent voters account for 20.2% (up 1.5 points). Our surveys indicate that among those most likely to vote, 44% are Democrats, 35% are Republicans, and 18% are independents, relatively unchanged since 2006.”

Not great, granted, but hardly a 2:1 ratio.

Not even close.
