A picture is worth a thousand words.

Clearly, more people means more liberal voters.

Republican politicians understand this, which is why they need to increasingly pander to liberals to get themselves elected.

But hey, OK--you can stay in your state of denial (pun intended) for all I care.

I'll just sigh and start voting for liberals in the future--but that would still be voting for republicans . . .

Because just as republicans of today sound a lot like the liberals of thirty-years ago, the republicans of tomorrow will sound like the liberals of today.

All because of the need for liberal solutions to the problems of overcrowding and industrialization.

After thinking this over, I think the previous poster who argued for a 60% solution is correct. You are NEVER going to be able to elect a hardcore Conservative in California for governor. Not unless the Chinese or North Koreans take out the San Francisco Bay Area and the LA basin. It just ain't gonna happen. Certainly not in this recall election.

The best that we'll be realistically able to get is someone like Arnie. I'd prefer McClintock, but this is no longer the California that elected Ronald Reagan to the State House.

Great map. Life's never been better for me and I live in the most densely populated area in the United States. And conservatives haven't held as much political power across our country in over a century. Life is good.

Look familiar?

Agree, and I am familier with those maps. But understand, where you see the blue regions and the lights in both images, they are some of the best real estate in the world, with beaches, best weather, harbors etc etc.

That's why so many people flock to those regions around the coast lines. They are not all their by accident.

I am fortunate, got a place in the red and blue zones, one very remote, and one near the coast, both in Cal.....If conservatives would get their acts together, instead of retreating and fleeing to some blazing desert, or frozen icy tundra, they too would move to the most desirable regions, and make the leftist flee the best to settle for less. I am spoiled, I love Southern California weather, as I don't like baking in 110 degrees, sweltering humidity, or freezing and sliding around on ice. I like mountains, oceans, beaches, deserts, country etc, and it's all here. No one is pushing me out. I love it here.
