Based on those results I think it is fair to say by general population they were still a red state to some degree. I concur though my math was off by a magnitude of probably a decade or more.

Yes you are correct, the democratic governor was recalled, then somehow Schwarzenegger won reelection. As someone who lived there and still does, I do not think the state was red in any way, rather the left was sick of what was happen under Davis. So you are arguing 8 years of a republican governor and 2 years of republican lead assembly vs 40+ years of a democrat governors and 40+ years both houses being controlled by democrats make CA republican lead?
