I know he took Colorado. My point was there are conservative parts of the state where the won will find little welcome. As for Colorado leaning left, if we kept illegal immigrants (and California transplants) from voting, there would be a markedly different result.
Living in California it is as frustrating as well. Most of California is right leaning, but the way districts are drawing the LA basin, San Francisco and the coast are given a real advantage.
CA will go for BHO because of that. If delegate were just awarded on the popular vote probably not.
If you look at the blue/red maps CA is amazingly RED.
