churchill–“as far to the right as Calif will go”? Ever been there? What makes politics in California so weird is that there are just as many hard-right people as hard-left – they just don’t get the attention. Orange County’s airport is John Wayne Airport! Sacramento proper is quite conservative, along with most of Northern California. So is Oakland, right in the shadow of San Francisco. San Diego is a major Navy base, and has lots of generally conservative Navy retirees.
