This may come as a shock to many of you, but I can see California as a whole moving in a conservative direction.

I don’t know about all of Kully-forn-icate, but I know I heard Rush say (in the not-too-distant past) that Berkeley (the university) has an overwhelming percentage of conservatives these days!

Yeah, I couldn’t believe it either!

Well, Code Pink’s ridiculous protest in Berkeley is finally over. They’re packing up and leaving — and declaring victory? Title: Mission Accomplished: One Year Testimonies at the MRS START DATE:……

Use Proposition 8 as your litmus test. I will have hope for Kalifornia only if we reverse the acivist supreme court gay marriage decision. Even then, without redistricting, the democrats have the state government in the bag.

I don’t think you should use the gay marriage as a litmus test of California Conservatives. In a state like California, with a higher percentage of gays and lesbians than most states, everyone (including Conservatives) has a friend, relative or co-worker that falls into the “alternative lifesytle” category. Just because gay marriage may rank around #10 on the list of conservative issues, that doesn’t mean their conservative views as a whole should be dismissed.

On the issue of redistricting, you are right, and Arnold wants to change that. I live in a generally conservative town with a lot of military retirees (it has one of the highest per capita Iraq troop casualty rates in the country). In my state assembly district, I share the same district with people over the hills and 20 miles away. Yet, the people across the street live in another district. The people across the other street live in a third district. We all live in the same conservative town, are seperated into three assembly districts and yet hear nothing from local, state or national Republicans working to change this.

I think California conservatives are getting a little lot irritated at being ignored by the Republican party. Good luck winning with McCain in the November election.

Congrats, Code Pink!

You got the victory (and respect) you deserved!

NOT!

This may come as a shock to many of you, but I can see California as a whole moving in a conservative direction. With some serious, competent, long term commitment from the Republican party, California could be in play in future national elections. Sarah Palin could be elected governor here.

Who are they going to harass next? Hopefully they’ve lost the taste for long-term harassment.
