You obviously don't have a clue how elections are won in CA since you have been ranting for weeks that the GOP can't win because there are more registered Rats in CA than Republicans...here is a clue...Elections in CA are won by the registered Independent voters! HELLOOOO?????? Elections in CA are decided by a turnout which tends to be larger by the GOP and the Independents who are more likely to vote and vote GOP than the RATS who are less likely to vote! The RINO Pete Wilson lost the base of conservative Independent voters and conservative Republicans when he RAISED TAXES during the recession in 1991. But prior to that the CA GOP owned the governor's house since 1899 except for the 2 Browns and Culbert Olsen . Class dismissed! I suggest you do some homework before you start ranting again. Tempest is a good name for you since you are more air than substance! ROFLMAO

You keep repeating that many times on these kind of threads.

While that is probably a fact, it does not to the conclusion that you think it does.

Case in point:

Here in Florida, Gov. Jeb Bush has been elected twice.

The latest official figures show that there are 372,000 more Democrats than Republicans and that this number was even larger the first time Jeb was elected.

Also, the three largest counties have decidedly larger Democrat pluralities (think Election 2000 here) and in fact, Democrats have the registration lead in 47 of the 67 counties in Florida.

How does Jeb Bush win here in Florida - rather handily, I might add too - faced with such a disparity in registered voters.

BTW, Florida has about 16,000,000 people v. California's 36,000,000. Do the math and the registered voter situation is almost identical.

Why does Jeb win?

Could it be that Jeb runs as a conservative? No, of course not, that cannot not happen in your paradigm....right?
