BLOGGERS FULL OF IT ON CA RECALL

I think the Blog community is full of shit regarding California, pretentious to their core. I have lived here for more than forty years, voted, my Dad was in politics, and I have been active. The election has to be viewed in the light of the deep Left/Right split out here. The only surprise to me is how Conservative the San Joaquin Valley has become, an area of medium sized cities and large farms. The vote in LA County was a change and in fact the Davis people lost because of SoCal and the voting pattern change from 2000 there.

How the Communist/Fascist Left voted.

San Francisco (home to the Left), Alameda Country (Berkeley and the other nuts), and Marin County (home to John Walker and pals) voted nearly 80% to keep Davis but only delivered a margin of 325,000 votes; in 2000 San Francisco alone gave Gore 200,000 plus. San Mateo County (home of Stanford) and Santa Cruz County (home to the most left wing university in the Left Wing UC system) voted for Davis by more than 60 %, these are the rich liberals, and government employees. Together these free loaders only delivered another 120,000 vote majority for Davis. Back in 2000 Alameda county went for Gore by more than 200,000, The number in favor of keeping Davis drops as you head down the coast. It was in Los Angeles County where the election was won because Davis only won 51-49 (plus 30,000 before absentee ballots are counted) in a county that went for Al Gore by almost a million votes. The same held true for Orange and San Diego Counties: Orange barely went for Bush in 2000 but delivered a 300,00 vote majority against Davis. San Diego where Bush only pulled 49% of the vote in 2000 the Recall pulled in 72% of the vote, another 200,000. Two SoCal counties wiped out the entire north coast Commies. The recall won because Southern California went against Davis big time. I have an opinion that SoCal may have been reacting in part to the puke politics of the Los Angeles Times, which true to form referred to Arnold as "der gropenfurher" this AM. Other SoCal counties also changed sides from Al Gore, particularly Santa Barbara County, but not by much.

Bush Country, which was all the counties not along the coast, turned in huge margins against Davis. But these counties are mostly small, some of them having fewer than 6,000 voters. Davis lost Modoc Country 2,876 to 840, just to give you an idea.

BUT....When you consider that the psychopathic Bush Hating and America Hating Left, thirsting for more and more entitlements, numbers in the millions out here and will take everything to court, don't think Arnold will have smooth sailing. Some will think that this election amounts to a major political change. This will be true only if the Frisco Bay Area can be isolated from the rest of the state. Liberals have plenty of money, they hate Arnold, hate all Republicans, and don't want their candy taken away. Teachers give back money? Unions give back money?

A new political party of the center? Don't make me laugh. This was a one time thing. A democracy speaking. LA is Left by nearly a million, the Frisco north ditto by nearly 400,000. It won't change. Had the hard core turned out, Davis might have easily won. Even the Left was turned off by Davis and couldn't bring themselves to vote. BTW not voting is voting too.

As an add: there has long been political warfare between north and south Californias, fueled by the jealousy Frisco has for the much younger, faster growing, and Hollywood south. All the elected left activists are from the Bay area and they look down their noses at LA. The unions in Frisco went on strike to stop shipments to our forces in Iraq. There is always the potential for this split to open up.
