When will California become a swing state again?

I'm not going to turn this into a gay marriage discussion, but remember that most Americans approved of segregation and were opposed to interracial marriages as well. Marriage is a right, not a privilege for heterosexuals.

IMO, California will become a swing state when the Republican Party rejects the teabaggers and Religious Right zealots in its party, so never. When the Republican Party tells Sarah Palin and Glenn Beck that they do not represent the entire face of the Republican Party and when they embrace (and not purge) moderates from their party, then I could foresee a moderate Republican coming close to carrying California, but even then it would be a stretch. Too many minorities in California who vote Democratic, combined with the affluent white progressives, makes it a tough state for the Republicans now or ever.
