Perhaps you need to read again what I posted. Or, perhaps you might remember just one of those things I posted over the last several months where my support for Props 73-75 were reflected in my tagline. He DID get support from conservatives (including mine) on several of his measures. He did NOT get support when he started pushing for more borrowing (Prop 76) and socialized medicine lite (Prop 78). Opposing these things does not put me on the side of Dems and Unions, except maybe in your twisted one-dimensional outlook on things.
Hildy is right, and you know she is, there were several articles about how light the turnout was in conservative areas.
LOL. As has been pointed out on this thread, there are absolutely ZERO statistics that have been published on what the breakdown of voters was by party, let alone by type within party (i.e. conservative, moderate, etc.) How can Hildy be right? She failed to respond with any factual basis for her assertions resorting to personal attacks and namecalling while relishing in the demise of the State. Since the most conservative measures did the best, it is counterintuitive to believe that it was conservatives who didn't show up at the polls. Its just more nonsense from the uninformed out-of-staters.
As I said, there were plenty of articles discussing it.
Did you not bother to keep informed, or do you have a selective memory?

Typically, a higher turnout rate among Republicans serves to soften the Democrats' seven percentage-point advantage among registered voters.
But Nov. 8, 43 percent of the electorate were Democrats and 36 percent Republicans _ meaning Democrats got the full advantage of their seven-point spread.
Worse for Schwarzenegger, the vote was sharply partisan. On each of his four ballot measures, Democrats voted about 84 percent against him and Republicans about 74 percent with him.
A repeat of that dynamic next November would send Schwarzenegger back to Hollywood.
And that explains why Schwarzenegger right now needs Kennedy _ or someone like her _ a great deal more than he needs the true-blue support of conservatives.

"Turnouts in Orange, San Bernardino and Riverside counties, all GOP strongholds, were several percentage points below the statewide average. Turnouts were above average in heavily Democratic regions such as the San Francisco Bay area."
