I challenge the accuracy of that statement.
Most of the accounts that frequent the California Topic accept that the Austrian will probably win by a substantial margin and those that are partisan are obviously rejoicing in that knowledge.
Here are the things that California freepers hate hearing on this forum
1) The Austrian is a Republican
2) The Austrian is conservative
3) The CAGOP supports the Austrian
4) The Austrian has held the line on taxes
5) A liberal like the Austrian is the best that Republicans can hope for in California.
