While it is unlikely Obama will lose California, the GOP is going to do better than most think. Already the chances for Dems to pick up an extra Congressional seat has been set back when the targeted seat for a pick-up ended up with two Republicans in the runoff! The Dems are kicking themselves for their new idiotic voting system.
Also, Californians are seeing day in and day out the failures of their Democratrically-run state and more independents are turning against the Dems. Plus, illegal Mexicans have for years actually been going back home because there’s little or not work for them.
Plus, look at the votes in San Jose and San Diego. Voters there “got it.” The margins were staggering. I think someone could run for governor and other high offices on a platform of bringing public sector unions under control and cutting back benefits and win in California. Clearly the public is totally fed up with the fat cat public sector unions and workers.
Plus, the failure of the cigarette tax to pass shows the California is not completely and utterly lost. That was a good sign. The voters could see through the phony claim that the money would be used for cancer research. Yeah, right.
Some are, but not enough of them. My sister has the unfortunate circumstance of having to live there and the people she works with are still rabid libs who are convinced everything will be fine if Sacramento would just tax the "rich" a lot more (never mind many of the "rich" are trying to escape that state).
