I read the whole article. Typical rehash of old stereotypes, half truths, and distortions. Plus, if 43% of voters are Republican, 20% are independent, then what percentage does that leave who are Democrats?

Not all districts in OC remain conservative, but most do.

Many adjoining areas are also conservative in San Diego and Riverside counties.

My home since 1954. Rohrabacher is my US Rep. and will get elected into the future. Had his toughest contest last time, however.

I would say throughout the West “conservatives” are solid on economics and national security, less strident on social issues, compared to the South.

Agreed. I always especially enjoy how persons of Spanish (or partial) heritage are not ‘white’. Having been stationed in Portugal & Spain I can tell you everybody native to the Iberian Peninsula considers themselves white, and they are physically indistinguishable from anybody else native to the European Mediterranean area. Also omitted from the demographics is the fact that in fine American tradition, the younger people are copulating and eventually marrying across ethnic groups; the melting pot continues.
