With an approval rating that low, that spells more trouble for 0. I have suspected for some time that 0 internals do not look very exciting in CA, and approvals of barely 50% in a dark blue state spells big trouble. Lowered d enthusiasm means lower d turnout. The GOP base should be emboldened and enthusiastic. Although the tracking polls won’t show it, the CA vote could be much closer than people predict....and it is possible that the boatload of CA EVs could go to Romney.
Call me crazy - but I’m saying it’s possible. Despite the color on all of the EV maps, CA is not as solid for the Big 0 as everybody thinks.

Dude, what are you smoking??? Seriously, I would like to believe that but don’t think that is possible. Only other state that would be harder would be NY! Last time we won CA was in ‘88 I think with Bush the Senior!
Save yourself and move to Colorado!
When the early returns call New Jersey for Romney, you will know that it is all over...

No, you're crazy like a fox.
On the way home today I looked at all the commuter traffic and thought, every one of those cars contains a driver with a job dearly held onto, and gas dearly bought, and necessities barely afforded. These are grim people, serious and purposeful people, and none of their cars carried bumper stickers -- not for BO, not for Romney or anyone else. If they were BO voters, they'd have stickers.
Even the people voicing support (such as it is) are more hesitant about BO. I saw one BO sign in a roll-down window, but on a window (taped inside to the window) the sign is less vulnerable but is also more easily removed.
Look in the SF East Bay Area and tell me what it is you see. Any cars with presidential bumper stickers (they are rare) are more likely to proudly sport old Kerry/Edwards or Dennis Kucinich bumper stickers than they are BO stickers.
And what of BO yard signs? There are none. I saw two in Oakland, and the one I saw in Berkeley was in a window, posted by a renter not an owner, likely a clueless college student.
BO's people have no idea (or perhaps they do) how angry Californians are.
Beware the silent majority. Nixon knew of them. Do they?
