Sucks, but it's consistent with what I hear from many other (former) Californians.
I’m not sure the exact population of California, but it’s around 35 million.
If the Republicans who used to live in California had remained and fought with the rest of us, California wouldn’t be so bad today.
Most issues are decided with less than a five million vote spread. Cut that in half and add one, and our side would prevail.
I’ll bet we lost five million Republicans over time. If they were here and helped, that means we could win the majority of issues.
Our communities, cities, counties, regions, and state would be so much better.
So would the nation. Today Romney will lose 55 electoral votes out of the gate. That’s a real shame.
With California in the R camp, guess who wins federal elections.
