Split into TWO would produce two R senators and neutralize the two leftists.

I doubt that. Someone posted numbers a while back showing that even under the 3 way split, Hillary & Obama both handily would have won all three 'states,' so I'm little skeptical of idea of any 2 or 3 way split producing GOP senators. There's simply not enough population in the central valley and conservative SoCal areas to offset Bay Area & L.A.

Split in 3, the Dems get 4 senators and the Pubbies get 2 (maybe 1).
