Orange County, CA

I've always thought that admitting Orange County as a state would be a good  partisan offset to admitting Puerto Rico as a state.  That's just me fantasizing though.  Also, I didn't realize what a large Asian community there is in OC.  According to Wikipedia it is 13.59% Asian.

According to Wikipedia it is 13.59% Asian.

Largely thanks to the Vietnamese that settled here after the war. "Little Saigon" is the largest community of Vietnamese outside Vietnam.

Very interesting.  I had no idea.

As for the TV show, you gotta love how crappy it is.  My roommate and I watch it just to see who can correctly predict farthest into the show's future.  Last season we pratically predicted half the season finale based on the first episode.

I guess the Vietnamese in Orange County vote Republican because the party is more forcefully anti-communist, although its no longer a big issue, since we have trade ties with them now.

I'm not sure that shifting the Vietnamese vote one way or another would have any affect on Republican control here.
