You beat me to it....just another example of how the general population of California is either extremely stupid or ignorant.*

Please note, I said the "General population" not the entire population....

Actually, the population west of the San Andreas fault is the problem. Simon won every county outside of the San Francisco Bay Area and northern coast. He won every Southern California county except Los Angeles and small Imperial. He lost by 350,000 votes, and I'm pretty upset about it, but he won more than 3/4 of the geographic state, and showed pretty clearly how divided California is ... really, like the rest of the country.

I know,I made that mistake the other day myself and had to go hat in hand to apologize to a retired Air Force veteran! :>)
