Kenny isn't too far off on one point. Although California is seen as staunchly liberal, it is actually deeply divided. San Diego and parts of the south, as well as the valley, are very conservative. The Bay Area and parts of LA are very liberal. So, there is a long distance between the poles, but CA can vote both ways.

However, in the current environment, I doubt that Bush has much chance here in 2004.

Estrada and Reagan are irrelevant. Who brain-washed you to make that statement? Bill Schneider on CNN said Estrada's non-nomination had no discernible effect on Hispanic voters. Besides, the guy is a midget with a speech impediment and race isn't everything. Most Hispanics I know don't trust the GOP and never will.

Reagan is very old hat. California is now the most heavily democratic state outside New England. Only a GOP moderate environmentalist would have a chance getting elected statewide. GW Bush is a right-wing extremist, not a moderate-conservative like his Dad. And most people in California know who ripped them off during the energy crisis. Bush is persona non grata around here and will remain so. 38% in California, no more. And those are just the Bushie diehards.
