Its mourning in America 2003. Come 2004, liberals will be faced with the full measure of their defeat.

Some residents joke darkly about forming a separate state, with San Francisco as the capital. Others are surrendering to reality, moving from denial to acceptance of the Republican actor's impending move to Sacramento.

Oh Lord, where do I sign!!! The rest of California would love it if the wacko extremist welfare-centric San Francisco area WOULD form a separate state ... that would cease a tremendous drain, a loud "sucking sound" that leaches from the rest of the state year round!!

""The pattern emerging is that the closer you are to salt water, the more likely you are to vote Democratic," Pitney said. "Maybe it has something to do with the ideological values of communities that have popped up along the coast, as well as concern for the environment.""

Well, the truth is that most of the universities are located on the coast. And universities almost always dictate the politics around them.

""The pattern emerging is that the closer you are to salt water, the more likely you are to vote Democratic,"

That would explain politics in Hawaii.

Maybe this would appeal to some San Franciscans:

"This is still San Francisco, and we're like our own little island from the rest of California," said the 30-year-old organizer at an environmental justice organization in the city's Mission district. "The folks in the suburbs and the Central Valley were so pumped about him ? it really blew me away."

You know, I had a wish fulfillment dream last night where San Fransico and ajoining communities actually was silly enough to put out a petition to become their own state.. Twelve million signatures were gathered outside the San Fransico area in three days, mostly because the printers couldn't print the petitions fast enough.

Ahh well, it was just a dream...

Oh, how the rest of California and the country, for that matter, wished you all were cut off in your own little socialistic-commie freak of an island.

And while you're at it, take Berkley with you.

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.

Looks to me as if the liberals are supplying their own salt water.

Schwarzenegger came in a distant second to Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante among the replacement candidates.

...Proving how idiotic these people truly are.

The book's already been written and it was pretty funny - and pathetically stupid:  Ecotopia.

I live in Sonoma County which went 60% against the recall. It is truly a liberal county as is the whole bay area. But many of our friends are conservative. The main county paper is owned by the NY Times which tells you the way it leans. The political situation is completely controlled by the far out libs. Lynn Woolsey is our representative whose about as liberal as you can get. She is supporting Dennis Kucinich for president which shows you how liberal she is.

What a leftie wimp...

Hey Anne...go hug a whale.

"I will keep registering voters and taking care of the poor and sending money to the ACLU, and marching for peace, in the hope and belief that we can get our country back from the rich oil men who have sold our country out," Lamott said."

Hve you ever noticed how all the "environmentalists" live in the middle of cities?

Not only is a city the biggest environmental disaster in existence, but these people have no first hand experience about the real environment, no clue about conservation, and think that wildlife is the animals on a farm.

On the other hand, they firmly believe they should be in charge of making all decisions about how everyone who lives in the "country" should conduct their lives.

The San Francisco Bay area, and the east bay area in particular has become nothing more than a sprawling service industry dependent anomaly of US industry as a whole. Black Angus, next to Barnes & Noble, next to Waterbed Warehose, next to Discount Tires next to the Law Offices of So and So.... and it just goes on and on. Once you get over the Sierra Nevada things start to change and you will glimpse the real American. A hard working individual who actually grows something, mines something, or kills something for the good of the community.

Ummm... I hesitate to point fingers here, however I feel obligated to point out that there are two counties listed that are incorrectly named. It should read "Sutter" county and "Lassen" county, NOT 'Stutter' and 'Lasses'. Feh!

That being said, I have always believed that there can be made a valid argument for dividing California into three separate States, consisting of Northern, Central, and Southern partitions. Of course, now I might have to restrict the 'Central' section to only the Bay Area, and divide the Sacramento Valley into the other two divisions.

Oh, and San Francisco and the Bay Area are NOT bloody 'Northern California'! Ye gods! Was this article outsourced to India?

"He just seems like he's genuine, honest and wants to clean it up," said P.J. Wick, a 62-year-old housewife from Yuma City in Stutter County

I can't believe this made it by the editors...is this a slam against Sutter County?

"This is still San Francisco, and we're like our own little island from the rest of California,"

Lets just hope it stays that way! Sadly enough the rest of the "coherent" people of the great state have to support your fanatical ideologue though financial support through state taxes.
