After Wilson came (D)Grey Davis who was recalled and replaced by Schwarzenegger a pretend Republican.
Prior to Davis, Cal. had a Republican Governor for 16 consecutive yrs.
California was infiltrated by East Coast liberals who came here for free education, high wages and the weather. Pelosi is but one example of a East Coast liberal.
If you look at red/blue map, you'll see most of the state is red...BUT the liberals occupy the population centers along the coast and the south.
And 52 electoral votes.
