There are more Dems, in California, than GOPers.

And can you point me to a point in time in the last 40 years when this hasn't been the case? Ronald Reagan and George Deukmejian nevertheless managed to get elected running as strong conservatives.

In NORMAL , non " special " elections...after wining a primary AND having a much longer pre-election time, as well as NOT having to run against a DEM and other GOPers.

Now, add to all of the above, the number of Californians ( Conservatives/GOPers ) who have left the state and the number of Hispanics, who have moved in, during the past 40 years. Oh yes, and the number of actual CONSERVATIVE GOP voters, in the movie industry, who have been replaced by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar lefties.

This nose counting, is part of politics and has absolutely nothing to do with wishful thinking.
