Ironically, I know a guy from Schenectady. Don't know anyone from Redlands.

This has not been my experience, while living in Southern California for the last decade plus.

Just saying.

Also, and I think SPG can back me up, the liberals in Portland Oregon care very much about unions, health care, etc. They even got Powell's Boooks to unionize, and that is like 5 stores in total, I think. (Main store, Tech store, 2 airport stores and the Hawthorne store, have I forgotten any?)

Don't they have a protest like twice a week in Pioneer Square?

ETA: And by they, I mean Oregonians.

The take-away here is that the GOP hasn't run a charismatic likeable Republican presidential candidate since 1988.

Interestingly, CA used to be a solid red state for presidential elections. From 1952-1988 they only voted Democratic once and that was the blow-out against Goldwater. Now it's just a foregone conclusion in the Democratic electoral vote calculus having gone blue by 10-20 points in every election since then. So thanks for dropping the ball on that one I guess.

I don't think you realize that I've lived in California and have a wildly deeper and more accurate understanding of the demographics of California voters than you do:

1) Because I care about that sort of data.

and

2) Because I'm not just wildly fucking guessing about millions of people because "I know a guy"

So could be full of wild eyed socialists then, I guess. It's just an arbitrary city I used to drive by on the 10 going from LA to Vegas, and yes, before we get into it not the most efficient route, was on the way to pick someone I went with most of the time up.

But if you call it assuming instead of guessing and add numbers like 99% it'll sound more trustworthy.

From California? No.

Sure. And Texas used to be a solid blue state. Things change.

Depending on what part of LA you're starting from, it's not a bad route at all (taking the 10 anyway). Going through Redlands isn't really about being inefficient as "out of your way". You literally run past where you need to turn north, then turn around and come back. Unless your destination is like Palm Springs (from LA, cause there are shorter routes from points south) or say Phoenix, you're not going through Redlands to get there.

Because you "lived" in California? For how long exactly? The fact that you used Redlands as a point of reference kinda nullifies any possibility that you know what the hell you're talking about here.

Usually modern politics is discussed in the post-WWII era. That said, CA is staying blue and Texas will get purple eventually so I'm fine with the way you guys are handling it Smiley: laugh

Why does it nullify when you've argued that just knowing someone is enough to allow one to speak intelligently on any given subject?

Ah, OK. gbaji, you are no longer allowed to comment on any sector of America (or the world) outside of California because you've never left California.



My work here is done.

I don't claim to know the politics of Maine better than those who live there. So perhaps you should aim that criticism at someone else?

Well, no, that's looking at reality. You know, versus whatever haze of naivety you need to be in to say that McCain will make California competitive or that Romney is going to blow out the electoral college.

Your Governor seemed pretty happy at Maine Day at Fenway last Sunday. But of course we lost, in 12 innings, & since they shutoff beer in the 7th I doubt he remained happy.

Good, he needs 'happy'. He usually looks like he's going to erupt into a rage-induced massive coronary.

I know.

Maine, however, has the oldest population in the country. I'd think we'd have the candy van parked at the state line luring the brats in.
