I'd be interested in some evidence for your assertion that "socialist tendencies" have broad popular appeal in California.

Since in every presidential race since 1988 the Democrat has won by as much as FOURTEEN percentage points; since it was one of the first states to legalize domestic partnerships for gays (expanded by the legislature, who were voted in by the electorate); and since it has a liberal democrat-controlled state legislature and keeps sending Barbara Boxer and Diane Feinstein to Washington, California has fooled me into ignoring it as a conservative stronghold. So sorry.

The Republican nominee had won CA's huge elecotoral block from '68 - '88 --- six straight general elections. But in the late 80s amnesty was granted to millions of illegal aliens. ...and their extended families. No suprise that the Dem nominees have dominated ever since.

So what's the GOP establishment doing now? Pushing amnesty yet again, but this time the future Democrat voters number in the tens of millions. .....and they're spread out over the entire country, not just in the Southwest.

GOP suicide, in progress.
