Since 1992, the number of California counties with more registered Republicans than voters of any other party has nearly tripled, from 13 to 37 out of 58. That growth has shaped exurbs such as Murrieta, where "we're red. We're getting redder … [and] the Democrats don't even bother to organize," said Shaun Bowler, professor of political science at UC Riverside.
I agree, even in Contra Costa County which is just east of Oakland and Bezerkely it is still blue but not as blue as S.F or Alameda county (oakland).. I think one thing too is that the REpublican party here has also been a bit disorganized arguing between the moderates and conservatives...we should find common ground amongst ourselves and go from there. I know some people think Arnold it too liberal on social issues but he is better than some of the Dems around here. We should slowly try and get more power, and shape our future from there.....merry xmas to all.....
That may be true oh great and mystical "BK" (just kidding), but one issue does concern me. Is the state turning right, or is it's Republican leadership...
It's not Red & Blue States - It's Red States & Blue Counties.
Naive, Naive, Naive! The registration of 500,000 illegals between now and the next election shall solve all left wing problems. Start to grasp the concept! We are beyond normal political solutions.
Here in Placer County (Sacramento-area), the majority of voters are registered Republicans. Look at a county by county map of California--California was predominantly red except for the idiots (off the chart weirdos) in San Francisco and LA.
You're right. A million more Californians voted for Bush than did Texans.
