the Camejo vote.

A quick review of the site Walt sent out
( i.e.: http://vote2003.ss.ca.gov/Returns/gov/00.htm )
shows that 13 of 58 counties voted *outrageously* to the right,
that is, over 70% for Arnold + McClintock,
or with those two coming in 1st and 2nd:
Colusa, Glenn, Lassen, Mariposa, Modoc, Placer, Shasta, Sierra, Sutter,
Tehama, Tuolumne, Ventura, & Yuba.
Six of those had turnouts of over 60%

Only 7 counties had Cruz Bustamante come in 1st:
Marin (beat combined Arnold + McClintock), Sonoma,  San Francisco,
Contra Costa, San Mateo, Santa Clara, & Santa Cruz.  LIsted north to
south, this is the Bay Area.  Only Marin had a turnout of over 60%.

5 counties gave over 5% to Comejo:
Humbolt (7.7), Mendocino(6.0), Marin (5.6), San Francisco (6.4), & Santa
Cruz (6.0).

Left-to-liberal Californians tend to reside, therefore, around the San
Francisco Bay area, from the south being Monterey Bay up along the coast
north to Oregon--but not more than a county inland whence reactionaries
increase to predominate until they max out as the state borders on
Nevada.  The state in general south of the Bay Area is more
conservative.

California: bourgeois hegemony at its finest.
