I just crack up at how many midwest guys wanna bag on CA, yet thousands of mid-westerners flock to CA, EVERY year. They get sick of shoveling snow & working at the local hardware store, save up enuff gas money to bail out, then hit the hiway westbound. They come back & visit now & again, but 90% ofem stay. I wonder why that is?????????

And to answer the question, I have been all over CA, I dont think you could split CA in any direction & achieve any big sway in political belief from 1 area to the other. The entire state is very ethnically diverse, as well politically.  Now if you wanna start comparing rural areas to urban areas, I think you might get the results your speaking of. But I think that is likely with any state.

P.S. the rest of you taxpayers better hope NOTHING happens to the WORLDS 5th LARGEST ECONOMY. Cause you KNOW who will be paying all those taxes if we aren't?  YOU WILL! Have a nice 80 degree sunny weather day, I am going to ;) ( do I wanna take the boat to the lake, maybe a concert or show, walk along the ocean front, or hike in the mountains? soooo many choices)

Anton, anton, anton.....

As bad as my state is (Louisiana), I have NEVER desired to move to Ca. You can have it bro.

Let's not talk about taxes my friend. If Ca. could stop screwing up their electricity problems, you would not have to buy it from other states and charge your residents outrageous fees and such. Half the problems Ca. has is because of the freaks that live there.

As for long walks, holding hands on the beach....talk to Karaya, he needs some stress relief the way he's been going off on the country channel lately.

The real Californias

1. Northern CA - Draw a line due west from Lake Tahoe.. Everything North of this line might as well be Oregon.
 
2. North West California - Everything from Sacramento south to Santa Barbara and west of that line. Hippie heaven and silicon city.

3. Southern CA. Everything South of "NorthWest CA" up to about 80 miles inland. Hollywood and it's environs. Also all the crowded beaches.

4. Redne... er Eastern CA. - Might as well be Kansas, only better weather and more corn.

Split the electoral college votes evenly?

If you divide it into Northern and Southern California, what would the difference in populations be?

Uhm... huge or extremely huge?

Northern Cal would be given about as many electoral votes as Delaware.

While I do not agree on your criticism of our state (LA), I do agree wholly with the California crack... the land of fruits and nuts. Its a model of over-taxation and how bad it can hurt.

The Saints are going to whip all three of the CA NFL teams this year. :)

And Im also having a wonderful 85 degree day... a little more humid and wet than yours, but wonderful all the same.

Oh come on Jasta....let's be honest, our state blows monkey chunks. Louisiana, almost last in education, I think Miss. blows bigger chunks than we do.

Politics....well, let's just say that we've had our share of shadey people in control, and currently, we have a dim wit for a Governor, and that's putting it politely. I bet this dumb broad will get swindled by Benson.

And speaking of Benson, I would take any one of Ca. pro teams in exchange for those winless bums we call the Aint's. Those pathetic do-nothings will be bottom of the division again this year.

Now, I will say something good about Louisiana. At least we have the Napoleonic Codes, even if they are getting set aside everyday by poor legislation passed in other states like Ca.

Oh well...can't win em all I guess

(note: A majority of this minor and poor rant was posted in all good fun.)

Lousyana is the most backward state in the US, bar none.  And I say that with a deep affection for it, having spent a lot of my life there, in Lafayette and N'awlins.  When it was time for me to start a family, however, I left the state.

When I lived in cali I fell under option #1, and it still was horrible.  We tried to succeed to Nevada, and in fact almost 95% of the county voted to succeed but the state said no and that was it, guess they didn't want to lose all "their" water...  

You don't have to worry about me, almost a year in Montana and love it more and more each day.  Even if I had to move for financial reasons I would never go back to californistan.

STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!


We may not have much in Alabama but we know how to shoot communist Californians who try to change our way of life.

Darwinian theory at work. The weakest can't hack it and leave. It's why Cali is a blue state.
