Oh, please...
Yes it will. So long as it includes L.A. and S.F., California is deep blue and isn’t going anywhere.
You’re seeing a very small slice of the small business community in CA with what you saw.
You’re missing the huge number of mind-numbed robots, Mexicans, welfare queens, environmental loons, and college pinheads et al, that will pull the lever for Obama no matter what.
Ah, yeah, welcome to Orange County - it’s only 10% of the state.
It will be EXTREMELY easy for him. I live here in the belly of the beast.
Pray for the conservatives in California. You cannot believe how much we suffer.
If you could just lop off the San Francisco Bay Area, California would be a very conservative state.
But sadly, you can’t lop it off!
It is good to keep in mind, though, that there are MILLIONS of conservative in California. The whole state shouldn’t be dismissed as bad. We’re just hostages.
Bam losing Kookifornicate would be a hades frozen over event. Who says conservatives can’t have wild dreams.
Or MI or WI or IA . . .
I have a feeling the Romney campaign has the smarts to manage their spending to achieve the optimal results.
Unless The Big One causes both SF and LA to tumble into the Pacific Ocean, California will never return to the Republican fold.
Probably in the body shop with vandalism claims.
California is SOS. Stuck on stupid.
That’s Orange County. Its the island of red in the tidal wave of blue that is California. I love your optimism, but all it means is that Republicans and Conservatives in Orange County will be slightly more gung-ho in 2008.
Now if you saw those bumper stickers in Berkeley or Compton, that would be something!
LOL! You are in OC which is still one of the most conservative county in the country. But we have 3 mil here, la has 15 mil.
As long as Ca stays one state it is lost. Split east west with OC,SD and the inland counties and you have a very conservative state .... and an even more liberal state.
"Progressives" are still saying "Bush" but have gone all reticent about discussing politics. That's not to say they'll vote for our side but I do think they have lost their hope and change highs and are just marching along.
The real weight behind Obama/socialism in Cal. is the large mass of somehow eligible voters who couldn't debate left versus right if lives depended on it; the ones who speak in terms of 'give me your wallet', 'welfare is work', 'can you loan me another $50 for gas?', 'after 20 years with the county I've earned every nickle of my pension', and 'you'll hear from the union on that!.
The problem is the producers constitute about 40% of the population, and shrinking.
As I am sure you have heard before, you were in a Republican part of the state.
:(
I would wager that welfare recipients far outnumber small business owners.

Rental car companies will charge you a rental fee for the time the car is in the shop for repairs. If it is out 2 weeks getting fixed, you owe them for that two weeks. So your estimate doesn’t begin to cover what you will be charged.
The LA basin and SF bay area will elect BHO, because of the way the districts are drawn.
There is a red/blue map of CA for the last election, it is stunning of distorted the voting blocks are.
Being in Santa Barbara, I see lots of BHO bumper stickers, what is different is how many rabid and out spoken the Romney supporters have become.
