Oh, I know there are conservatives in California. I mean we didn't elect Ronald Reagan for Governor, twice, without them. Unfortunately for me, I grew up in the Bay Area which is now a breeding ground for liberals.

Actually, some of the suburbs are okay - the one I grew up in is anyway. But, sheesh...San Fran...what a disgrace that place has become. Last summer I was home at the folks' place and my brother was perusing the 'pink' section. That's the entertainment section in the Sunday SF Chronicle for any non Bay Area people - interesting that it has always been the 'pink' section. Anyway, he says to me Dad, after viewing about 1/3 of the section, "is it Gay Pride week in San Francisco or what?" and my Dad says, while rolling his eyes, "everyday is Gay Pride day in San Francisco!"

The election map of California is just like the national map. All blue on the coast, except for San Diego county (way to go San Diego !!) and all red in the rest. Gore only took about 10% of the counties didn't he? It was the same here in Washington State. Gore won 5 of the 39 counties! Errrrrr.

Hey, I was born and raised (until I was eight anyway) in the Bay Area too! I was born in Albany in 1954 and lived in El Cerrito. Could we have been neighbors? LOL!

Yes, most of the state of CA was for Bush, only those few little areas went for Gore. Those few little areas have HUGE numbers of 'Rat voters though. Enough to make my vote meaningless. :~(
