For most of CA's history, it was a reactionary paradise. The Suburbs ruled and modern conservatism was practically born from this state. You can still see this period with the OC Republicans that the Democrats are trying to take out. In 1988, the state was still leaning R, so it voting for the popular VP instead of Dukakis makes sense. The state really started to go blue with the rise of cities like LA and the subsequent immigration that took place. The state GOP was and is also very inept, so that also contributed.
