Northern Calif. mourns Schwarzenegger win

Conservatism is the logical direction to go, given the abject failures of leftist policies througout the globe.

People have short memories, though.

[nosofar]

With regard to the win in California, I am in Butte County, we overwemingly voted to oust Davis, I wonder if too much is being made out of the fact that Arnold won. He is hardly conservative, now if McClintock had won that would be the story.

It's only been a few days. Many here are still a little tipsy on it. They'll come back to Earth eventually.

Maybe we all need to send that pensive ditz a karmic hug....

Schwarzenegger won decisively not only in the Southern California suburbs that gave Richard Nixon his start in politics...

Mark Steyn was right:

Schwarzenegger, who came from Austria where Adolf Hitler got his start, won overwhelmingly in the Southern California suburbs where Richard Nixon got his start. Two facts that are completely irrelevant except to the leftist media where, oops, Ronald Reagan got his start.

Some residents joke darkly about forming a separate state, with San Francisco as the capital

WOW!!!
What a dream come true for the hard-working, traditional American families of California!

Good grief! I hope somebody is listening and aggressively pursues this idea. Throw in a few other parasite nests like Los Angeles and Sacramento and they can really have a socialist utopian paradise to be proud of, yessirree.

it's not a sea water thing....it's a bay area post-LSD insane asylum.

LOL!! Ain't that the truth!

"The trend may bode well for Republicans in future elections as development comes to California's remaining rural spaces.

Placer County, which goes from east of Sacramento to the Nevada line, added more jobs than any county in the nation in 2001, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and it had the fastest-growing county population in California in 2002, according to the U.S. Census. Nearly 72 percent of Placer voters favored the recall, and 63 percent chose Schwarzenegger.

The trend troubles David Orleans, a 32-year-old insurance underwriter who moved to San Francisco five years ago in part because of the liberalism championed by Democratic Mayor Willie Brown and U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein."

The money quotes. And as the rest of CA goes more conservative, while the liberal enclaves lose jobs, the liberals will try to protect themselves by declaring that they are an endangered species.

This is stupid. The Bay Area is the only region that voted against the recall. Even LA county voted yes. California has a lot of coast and most of it is not part of the Bay Area.

The idea of forming a State of Jefferson out of Southern Oregon has a long, colorful history. I think it could safely include everything safely north of Marin County.

But the denizens of San FagDisco would NOT like it... it would not be safe for them to travel across the border...

[OregonRancher]

Ever hear about the State of Jefferson? New state comprised of southern Oregon and Northern California almost made it before WWII.

In San Diego County, home of Republican Rep. Darrell SSA, who spent nearly $2 million to launch the recall, 66 percent of voters favored getting rid of Davis.

How many times does it have to be pointed out that Darrell Issa launched nothing? He accelerated the recall, but he did not launch it.

For something as tectonic as the recall, you'd think these reporters could at least get their facts straight. This should be common knowledge by now.

Sheesh.

Marin County author Anne Lamott, whose novels often depict loss, says she cried herself to sleep after Tuesday night's election. But she woke on Wednesday and renewed her liberal values.

What an idiot!

[kstewskis]

And as the rest of CA goes more conservative, while the liberal enclaves lose jobs, the liberals will try to protect themselves by declaring that they are an endangered species.

Oh, if only that were the case!

[Ditter]

We have 2 cousins in the bay area. I know one of them is crying in his Merlo right now.

[kstewskis]

California has a lot of coast and most of it is not part of the Bay Area.

Although that is the pathological mindset of these morons. It is especially evident, not only in this election, but in the newer transplant/invaders who move from "The Bay Area" into other states and try to push their socialistic laws and ideas on the locals.

And believe me, they're not impressing anyone.

[SierraWasp]

A "Coastal CA," vs "Superior CA" ping!!!

[Libertina]

what a very RUDE title to this article...as if northern California doesn't have any conservatives. Biased media - here they go again.

[null and void]

How many times does it have to be pointed out that Darrell Issa launched nothing? He accelerated the recall, but he did not launch it.

For something as tectonic as the recall, you'd think these reporters could at least get their facts straight. This should be common knowledge by now.

But that would be giving credit to that eeeeeevil conservative talk radio station, KSFO 560...

[driftless]

I'd rather they form a separate country...and take all the rest of the U.S.'s libs with them.
