While the rest of the nation went red in Tuesday's midterm elections, California emerged even bluer. What's going on?
The standard answer is that registered Democrats outnumber registered Republicans, and that many decline-to-state voters lean Democratic.
But there's a more telling reason, one that promises to keep California blue for years. The state's rising numbers of new voters - newly minted immigrant voters, minorities and voters between the ages of 18 and 29 - are overwhelmingly Democratic in their preferences.

I switched the colors so they would make more sense...in my map, “red” = “Communist.”
It does.
I've been saying this for quite some time. CA is dominated by political ignoramuses.
So stop with all the rants about CA already. As you can see, CA politics is totally schizoid. It's not that the majority of voters wants the world to come to an end, they just want free stuff.
Appeals to reason have no effect. We're dominated by idiots and the Democrats who love them. Case closed.
Maybe it could be done, but you'll need more than shovels and jackhamers on the California/Nevada border, there is a 14,000' mountain range running right up the middle of the border.
In fact, Nevada's highest mountain is actually part of an even higher peak in California.
Note to CA: We, the other 49, ain’t bailing you out. Period. If you want it, come and get it. Just try.
When CA allows a state-level version of cap and trade to go into effect, brownouts and blackouts are only a matter of time. IIRC, that was one of factors that resulted in Gray Davis being recalled. Moonbeam may suffer the same fate if he's not careful.
Works for me.
Democrat registration - 7.5 million
Republican - 5.3 million
Ind - 3.4 million
Therefore, Republicans have to get at least 66% of the Indies in a given race to win. A tall order for the social conservatives California Republicans usually run.
Until the Clintons came along, such was true for all US elections -- red was for Democrats and blue was for Republicans. A corrupt media changed it all for us; no one was consulted for permission. Read this:
And the Dems got all the young potsmokers out to vote for legalization. Next election they’ll probably put free college on the ballot. When the Big One hits, it won’t do as much damage as their horrible politics has done the past 25 years.
Back in the early 1960's, some anti-Communists tried to popularize the expression "pro-blue" as meaning pro-freedom, pro-West, and pro-America.
By your screen name, I would guess that you might be in the greater Half Moon Bay metropolitan area.
:^)
CA has twice the population of NY but 5 times the welfare cases. Now that the socialists have their voter base they should back off or lose all their power to bankruptcy.
I imagine that Kalifornia wants more teachers like Jack Black and less like Mr. Hand
Well, that video takes me back to my drunken nightclub days.
My only question is: “How long will it take Gov Moonbeam to ask for a bailout?” Will it be in his inauguration speech?

Did I mention Latinos voted for leftist Jerry Brown 2 to 1 coming out in total support of Whitman’s illegal alien maid.
