Most non-Californians automatically think California is liberal. It's actually the big cities that are mostly liberal... there are lots of conservatives in my home state, believe it or not!

I don't know about that. I lived in California for 26 years -- in San Bernardino, Sacramento, and San Diego. Orange County South is relatively conservative. And you have pockets of almost reactionary conservatism up and down I-5 and Hwy 99. But Your overwhelming influence comes from the Bay Area and the LA area. And then you have a lot of universities (Like Chico, and Davis, and Sac State) that corrupt the gene pool of areas that would be conservative.

Yeah, there are "a lot" of conservatives, because there are over 35 million people in California. But they are scattered all over the Golden State

I've lived all over California and what I have seen is extreme liberalism in San Francisco, and like you said, the universities are liberal... but a lot of moderates and conservatives in the suburbs and other parts of CA.

Anyway, I'm just saying it's not as horrid as most people make it out to be.
