Orange County was once a conservative bastion of California. Whether they still are, I couldn't say. However, one of the reasons that California, for all of its reputation for being run by hippies (a fairly well-deserved reputation), has not fallen as far as some smaller states, like MA, is because there is a large California heartland which is still conservative. It is LA, SF and the coastline in between that is left-wing as it gets. The big valley and the mountains are full of people who are pretty much as conservative as the rest of the sane parts of the country, so the hippies have had to work slowly to push their agenda past them, rather than just ramming it through.

The OC is a hold out of conservatives so the OC Register’s report isn’t surprising. However, had that appeared in the LA Times up would be down, down would be up and there would be rioting in the streets. ;)
