I was told yesterday by another California freeper that California is not really a Dem stronghold-really 50-50 split. I had thought based on the last election, senators, house members etc that it was mostly Dem. However, I deferred to his knowledge of his own home state. Now, I am confused. Is California a Dem state or not?

Is California a Dem state or not?

San Francisco and Los Angeles are Democrat strongholds. But the state really is 50/50. Remember, we had 8 years of Deukmajian and 8 years of Pete Wilson. Also we had 8 years of Ronald Reagan. (moment of silence). The Republicans can once again ascend to leadership of California, but not by alienating the base like the country-club-patrician-pragmatist Republicans are wont to do.
