California's Cold War Republicanism is greatly exaggerated on this forum. Let's look at the percentages from this era:
1952
Democratic: 42.3
Republican: 56.8
1956
Democratic: 44.3
Republican: 55.4
1960
Democratic: 49.6
Republican: 50.1
1964
Democratic: 59.1
Republican: 40.8
1968
Democratic: 44.7
Republican: 47.8
1972
Democratic: 41.5
Republican: 55.0
1976
Democratic: 47.6
Republican: 49.3
1980
Democratic: 35.9
Republican: 52.7
1984
Democratic: 41.3
Republican: 57.5
1988
Democratic: 47.6
Republican: 51.1
So, as we can see, there was always a sizable Democratic vote in California except when John Anderson took some former Carter supporters in 1980.
