My former girlfriend lives in California. She works for the government in California. The things that she had to put up with from the Obama people was something else. There is no way Obama is winning California.
Obama does not run California, Brown does. That being said, one sparrow does not a summer make. My wife has been working between CA and the southern states so I have had the chance to breeze up and down these regions. I find CA doing quite well in a cruel economic down turn. If you want to see misery, take a trip through the red states and they are the welfare queens taking in the most federal dollars than any in the lower 48. They will vote GOP despite a mean income of slightly over 15k per year. Some states defy reason and live by ideology when it comes to the presidential elections. CA is firmly a blue state.
