This only further strengthens my resolve to have California divided up into many smaller states like on the East Coast.
No, 2 states would be enough. Northern California would not be uber-liberal b/c it would have places like Placer County, Stockton and Modoc.
Southern California is all Republican except LA County and Santa Barbara.
Stockton itself leans Democratic. But it's surrounded by rock-solid Republican suburbs and farms. But we can expect strong margins in NorCal for a long time, as long as the Bay Area continues to throw Democrats huge margins (though, from what I hear the Bay Area's losing population cause it's pretty damn expensive. I live here, so I should know, the average cost of a home in my town is $1000000).
