"When we revisit the state in 20 years, the picture may be entirely different."

It will take at least that long. The sad thing is that until recently, CA was a Republican state. Up to 1992, CA was almost always in the Republican column. A lot of Dems have moved to the urban counties from out of state. Because counties like Santa Clara, San Mateo, Contra Costa, Sonoma and Alameda are still experiencing job growth, these counties continue to grow in population which will make it very difficult for future Republican candidates. Also, many Californians are moving to ID, NV, AZ, NM and other mountain states which drains the state of conservatives.

The Times-Standard carried the vote breakdown last week. I will try to post it.The Arcata council has a majority Green party make up...
