#1 That doesn't look like enough blue to me to win.

#2 The blue counties are much more populous. Cook County is about 5.7 million people, for example, and went very heavily blue.

#3 Lots more full graveyards there too, Steve. The Dems don't discriminate: the dead can vote too--as long as it's for a Dem.

#4 Meanwhile the Al Franken vote grooooooows. Some absentee ballots votes found in the trunk of a car. Some were "remembered" and then counted days later by a fatigued election board member. Voting maps? Who needs stinking voting maps? It is as the Obamessiah wills.

#5 California is already a Majority-Minority state. European whites make up just 42% of the population and Hispanics have grown to 37%.(Not counting Illegals) Between 1980 and 2004 the Hispanic population in California grew by over 8 million. In 2004 the white European population was slightly larger than 1980 but actually decreased from the 1990 census.

In 1980 California had a 58% white European population. Reagan carried the state by 1.5 million votes. He won all but three of 58 counties, SF, Alameda and Yolo (Scratomato). In 1984 he again won by 1.5 million votes but lost two additional counties, Marin (Limousine Liberal Heaven) and Santa Cruz (Home of UC Angela Davis).

Now being a Majority-Minority State in 2004 Kerry carried California by 1.2 million votes and in 2008 Obama carried the state by 2.5 million votes.

Obama carried 33 of 58 counties which included every large county except Orange County where McCain squeaked out a 36,000 vote majority. Reagan won Orange County by a 3-1 margin.

Dick Morris had a theory early this year that Hillary would win 2008, screw up and the last Republican President, ever, would be elected in 2012. His theory was that demographics do not favor Republicans.

Morris picked the wrong Donk but his theory is sound. For the 2012 last shot for Republicans, Obama will have to worse than former California Donk Governor Gray Davis, and he was really bad.

Conservatives have to come to terms with the reality that they are swimming against a demographic riptide. Count on the Donks giving the illegals amnesty. The riptide will become a demographic Tsunami.

Texas, Newest Majority-Minority state.

#6 Maybe, but votes from a territory don't count. If CA goes into receivership, its a territory, not a state.

#7 If california goes into receivership, it becomes a state of bankruptcy.
