Prop. 187 in Ca. in 1994 scared Republicans nationwide to death.

It passed. The wonderful 9th Circuit knocked it out. Repub. party faded away in the state.

The Repub. strategists decided it was because of Prop. 187, and have been running from the issue nationwide ever since.

The fact that the state party is a mess, that white flight accelerated after '94, and that that state is gerrymandered to death seems to never have occurred to them as possible reasons for their constant defeats.

Plus, of course, the southern part of the state is increasingly Hispanic.
