Actually, I did drive to Ventura and beyond. Ventura's somewhat of a nice town. It seems more Conservative, too, though I can't be sure. I just know that the man I chatted with at the tire store, of whom his business was patching my tire, was very friendly, and we chatted about political issues. Very nice fellow. I even told him about Free Republic.

Most parts of Ventura County are, and on into Santa Barbara (Reagan country). Kalifornia has a few "pockets" of conservative islands, but of course, they are in the middle of the mess.
