In which case, why does the state Republican party exist at all? Why doesn't it just merge with the California Democrats?

If they did, the Conservatives would no longer be part of a major party unless they went along with the rest of the GOP.

Well, as a conservative living in California, I'm not at all sure I am a part of a major party anymore. I don't know when it happened, but I think Al Davis now runs the GOP in CA.....
