Bush got creamed in Yolo Co., home to one of the most leftwing communities in the state (if not the nation), Davis, CA. Just driving through Davis gives me the creeps.
I hear ya about Davis, CA. My sister went to UC Davis and she is the biggest Birkenstock-wearing, alfalfa-sprout-eating, hairy armpit liberal you've ever seen.

I always wondered why Yolo County was so out-of-step with the surrounding counties. I forgot about UC Davis. That explains everything.
Talking about Bush getting creamed, the wipe-out in the Bay Area counties is truly astounding. I live in Alameda County which contains some moderate-to-conservative towns like Piedmont, Pleasonton, Livermore, and even Fremont. Yet Pres. Bush lost Alameda County by a devastating 292,000 votes. The final vote count is Kerry 423,000 (75.4%), Pres. Bush 131,000 (23.4%!). Pres. Bush lost S.F. County by 242,000 votes (Bush got 15.3%!!); San Mateo Co. by 115,000 votes (Bush 29.4%); Santa Clara Co. by 177,000 votes (Bush 34.7%); Sonoma Co. by 80,000 votes (Bush 31.0%); Contra Costa Co. by 107,000 (Bush 36.5%); Marin Co. by 65,000 votes (Bush 25.5%!) and Santa Cruz Co. by 59,000 votes (Bush 24.9%!). Altogether, Pres. Bush lost these eight No. Cal. coastal counties by 1,137,000 votes which is almost equal to Kerry's CA vote margin. Pres. Bush lost L.A. County by a staggering 832,000 votes which adds to a 2 million vote deficit in just nine counties. Considering that Pres. Bush won the national vote by 3% but did so poorly in CA (losing the state by 10%), it will be a very long time before a Republican presidential candidate wins the Golden State.
