They're devolving back into amphibians.

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.

"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.

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!

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

[Libertina]

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

Dims truly are SICK in the head!!!

But how does vote fraud fit into this?

It's a good day when ultra-liberals are crying themselves to sleep ;-)
