Wow... I had no idea, but then of course I live in the Midwest.
We love the midwest where most people are great conservatives. But you guys have a (sometimes) false perception of California. If we had a major earthquake and the five miles of coastline from Oregon to Mexico broke free and sank to the bottom of the Pacific, California would be the most conservative state in the union!
Of course, sometimes you guys are right on ...
Go Simon!
