"Stay strong and remember that you are not alone. Your vote does count, as does your presence in a state noted for voting to the Left of reality. Being on the right side of history is never easy, but know that your countrymen will appreciate it as well as the generations unborn."
Thanks...definitely appreciate the thoughts :-)

I had a discussion with a friend of mine who complained that San Francisco (and much of the surrounding coastal areas) and L.A. are just the same in how they vote. In all fairness, I don't think that's right. Looking at the three major cities, L.A. (L.A. County specifically) votes "D" in proportions similar to major urban centers like New York City for all the usual reasons, though much of the inland areas do not. The San Francisco area is a unique concentration of die-hards that reflect the thinking of the '60s liberal (I think it was 83-16 for Kerry!) and they have clustered there like their own little nation. Then you have San Diego County, which seems to vote Republican almost always, usually in the low to mid 50 percent range. I know the strong military connection here is a major factor in this, but I am sure there are other reasons...
