True re: WI and MI, but those states' populations are such that the conservative bastions can overcome those of the loony left. Problem with CA is, the loons in SF and LA don't care about the fiscal situation. And they know at the end of the day the feds will give it to them if the state were to fail, so they'll get their slice of the pie no matter what. They see their situation as a no-lose one. And never forget about the rapidly growing population of Mexicans who have anschluess with the Fatherland on their mind. The singular hope for CA is if it splits into two entities, which won't happen. The big cities need to leech the resources of the other regions.
Just one brief comment: If the state of Wisconsin can go Republican, there is hope for California. Can’t help it, I’m an optimist and maybe a fool at the same time. I just think Obama is not going to do too good with Latinos and many Blacks will stay home and not vote. But....we shall see shortly!!!
