Comments anyone?

He’s certainly enough of a liberal for Cali that’s for sure.

[television is just wrong]

possibly, California demographics have changed so much that anything should not be a surprise.

Only if McCain turns out to be a much stronger campaigner than he appears to be at this point. That coupled with some McGovern-style gaffes (i.e., going to Hanoi and begging on his knees for the release of the POWs) might do it. But rather unlikely. The left coast is solid Ratland.

Not unless there is a serious mass deportation ...

Shhh! Don’t let the Dems hear this. They might decide to oust Obama in favor of Hillary.

This will bring Conservatives out in droves. (Hopefully out of their hatred for McCain they won’t vote for B. Hussein Obama.)

Not sure I care.

[devere]

No

McCain has an outside chance of taking California. If he did it would mean a McCain victory in November.

But...

I've got to believe that the majority of Californians are not crazy enough to align their political ideology with those nuts

I think you underestimate the level of dementia in this state. Too many people have smoked pot for too many years. They either are paying no attention to the Trinity Church story or actually think it is "cool"

The racist voters will come out strong for Obama as they have across America during the primaries. The Marxist voters (which includes many Hispanics) will come out strong for Obama.

Mexifornia electing McCain’t? Fagetaboutit! The Messiah is too appealing to the fruits, nuts and tacos too.

I don’t think it’s possible, but I am glad to pretend that it is, if that will prompt Obama to blow more of his wad in CA.

Susan Sarandon vows move to Italy or Canada if McCain elected...

And the promised flight of anti-republicans begins for the new campaign season. I wonder if this one will actually leave, since all those who vowed to depart if Bush won decided living here under his presidency was better that leaving as they promised to do.

Does the author know the difference between possibility vs. probability. For instance, it is possible I can win the lottery today, but is it probable.

This is why in Criminal Court cases you hear Probability vs. Possibility. Any thing is possible, but Probable I would say not.

McCain is going to get beat like a red haired step child in Kalifornia. They are in LOVE with Barack. The cities will turn out for him droves. I see you live in Texas. I lived in Kalifornia most of my adult life. They have turned on the Clinton's and now Barry is the savior. The rural areas will probably go McCain but any city bigger than 10,000 Barry will carry - except maybe Fresno.

[LiveFree99]

In a word, no.

I think, barring any huge mistake by the Republicans, mccain will win in a landslide. The shine is already off Obama. So many young people who turned out in the primaries, won't in the general. And now that we've hear that Susan Sarandon will leave the country should McCain win...even Conservatives will turn up to vote McCain! All we need is Sean Penn to repeat that promise, and we're in the clear!!!! :)

I have to take back all I said about Rush.. his strategy was brilliant...just brilliant....

>Comments anyone?

Yeah. Vanities suck.
Couldn't you find one news piece,
then comment on it?

[Hildy]

We seem to be on opposite sides of the spectrum on this. The Jewish vote in CA is big...McCain gives them a viable alternative. You wait and see.

"Is it possible that California could go for a Republican for the first time since 1988?"

In a word, NO!
