Reagan did it twice, GHWBush did it once. The odds aren’t a billion to one.
Prop 8 is really going to get the conservative vote out.
This is the “Bradley effect” State.
People here understand there is no corporate tax. Corporations just pass them back to the consumer.
Not a billion to one, but still very poor. The population has changed a lot since Reagan/GHWB ran.
Many Republican voters have died, retired and moved, military voters have switched bases as most CA bases closed, many more liberals from other states have moved in (something thats been going on for decades, the same effect as in Virginia/NC).
And most importantly many more immigrants are now voting, primarily Latino/Mexican, plus theres a great increase in second-third generation native-born Hispanics (the children of immigrants that are now of voting age) have changed the political balance overall.
