WRONG! California was a SWING STATE, electing both Democrats and Republicans. The outflow of conservative Anglos has left liberal whites (the bay area), Asians, and Latinos. Even the blacks are moving to Las Vegas or the Southeast.

The Central Valley, Orange County and San Diego County remain Republican, though. The odd thing is, the Central Valley is more Latino than the Bay area, although it is also more Republican. A dirty secret about California politics is that Latinos do not vote in as large margins as whites or Asians.

Every state is a swing state by that definition. We even elect some Democrats to Congress here in Texas.

Yes, but we are a blue state. went to Mr. kerry with electorates. Hope it changes soon. I am ashamed. I do realize when you get away from the coast and out of L.A. county it is Republican. But we still ended up a Blue state
