Will Obama break 65% in California?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Since these threads seem to have been popping up...

Obama got just under 61% here in 2008. In a midterm year that was very Republican across the board, Californians chose to stick with the Democrats by solid margins. The demographics are very favorable to Democrats and becoming more so.  Obama has a huge following in this state. The California GOP is weak and ineffectual except for vetoing tax increases.

What say you?

No.

Romney takes California 52% to 48%.

trololol

OC will swing heavily toward Romney; they're the largest bastion of moderate Republicans left in the state.

That map is Tom Campbell's performance in the Republican primary for Senate. He received 17.36% of the vote in Orange County, falling well behind Carly Fiorina but also behind hard-right Chuck DeVore, an Orange County native. Orange County has always been a haven for far-right candidates and causes; in all the state, only Kern County rivals it in this respect.

Reps Royce (R-40) and Campbell III (R-48) are moderate Republicans (at least, compared to the rest of the national party).

Northern OC is far-right, the further south you go the more moderate it gets. Torie's precinct breakdown for Prop 8 highlighted it pretty clearly.

OC in the past, though, was the capital of the American far right.

Romney's message of economic freedom is certainly going to appeal to more than 35% of the California electorate. I expect him to do much better with white collar voters than McCain.

Oh white collar CA voters are among Obama's biggest fans.

Oh wow, I posted this in April? How time flies.
