Then what is there to do? Southern California has always struck me as pretty but an absolute liberal cesspool. Southern Californians have always struck me as incredibly self-absorbed and from your posts, you strike me as being no different. Unlike your state, my state threw the dems out on their ass.

It wasn't always that way. You may recall that in 1964, California Republicans put Barry Goldwater over the top in his bid to be the party's presidential standard-bearer, and it was Southern California that provided him the margin. In the 1960's and 1970's, Los Angeles mayor Sam Yorty was perhaps the most conservative big city mayor in the country. And in 1982, George Deukmejian, a conservative Republican from Long Beach, won two terms as governor.

Although economic and demographic change--especially the influx of illegal aliens--has weakened the conservatives and the Republicans, we still have a potent tea party movement, and conservatives have scored some notable successes down-ballot.
