Why bring Ventura and Santa Barbara Counties into the mix? Because, m'dear, they are in SoCal and went Dem in 2000. That's why. WRT to your second link, please, my son, do yourself a favor and try to come up with something citing statistics more recent than 1980. The 2nd link, my child, is a MAP of the boundaries of the counties in CA. Are you claiming they have changed since 1980? BTW, I see no date on that map. There is a link at the bottom titled "Census 2000" so it CAN be presumed to be current. Did you think I would not notice? No ateempt at trickery is intended. You come up with more recent population figures and we will use them. But there is absolutely no problem with a candidiate taking LA County and losing the state. While it does have a dignificant population, so does the SF Bay Area and it will go Dem. This might help. quickfacts.census.gov But you do have to go county by county. It shows LA County as 9.8M in 2000, and CA as 35.5M. Santa Clara County has 1.7M, San Mateo County 0.7M, San Francisco County 0.75M, Alameda County 1.5M, Contra Costa County 1.0M, Santa Cruz County 0.25M, Marin County 0.25, Sonoma County 0.5M, Solano Count 0.4M, and Napa County at 0.1 M. Throw in Ventura at 0.8 M and Santa Barbara at 0.4M. About equal to LA County. And you get to thrown in Yolo, Lake, Mendoino, and Humboldt.
