You don’t know much about California and its politics do you? Let me make it simple for you. Two large DemocRATic cities dominate the state’s electorate. Cut them out and there are plenty of conservatives here. Two large DemocRATic states, and 50 small conservative ones. Got it?

I'm a native Californian. I left the state in 2001 when it was apparent that the political landscape would forever be in the hands of the socialist RATS. The few Republicans that make it to the legislature are a lonely, powerless minority. Term limits removed Willie Brown from his iron grip on the assembly. Many of the other lefties are just playing musical chairs. The termed out reps are serving as attorney general or controller. Same faces...just doing damage in other places.

The illegal aliens and their magic "citizen" offspring have already overwhelmed your influence at the ballot box. I don't expect that trend to change in my lifetime. I could find no reason to continue to wallow in the mire for the rest of my life.
