California is massive, and it isn’t all SF and LA. You’d think that electing Schwarzenegger governor would have been a hint as to some political leanings! California has a sizeable rural community, which is typical Right wing.

- StudentStuff 8y agoThose angry rural people do leave California in droves though, to Oregon and Washington in the past. They've dealt significant damage to our local politics in the past, the fear of Californians is well founded. Those that like California are less apt to leave in large numbers, as compared to those on the margins of politics/the economy (eg: in stable or shrinking industries, with different political beliefs).
