This LA times article conforms what has been common knowledge for quite some time: The Republican party is finished in California!
November 11, 2013, 3:21 p.m.
Deep inside a new USC/Los Angeles Times poll are details that could make the California Republican Party, and by extension its cohorts elsewhere in the country, fear anew the march of time and demographics.
California right now is an extreme example of the nation, to be sure: more ethnically mixed and younger than most states, and riven for 20 years by a hobbling GOP civil war that now is surfacing dramatically elsewhere in the country. But if California is on the leading edge, as opposed to an outlier, the poll serves as confirmation that long-term problems loom for Republicans.
Take party registration: Among white California voters, almost four in 10 are Democrats and four in 10 are Republicans. But among Latinos 55% are Democrats and only 15% are Republicans. Among black voters, 76% are Democrats and 4% are Republicans. There were not enough Asian voters to accurately assess, but overall, minority voters are 54% Democratic to 14% Republican. (Just more than one-quarter of minority voters are registered independents, a group that generally votes Democratic in California.)
The collision between ethnicity and age is even more lethal. Six in 10 white voters are over 50, making them prized in the present but not dependable in future decades. The reverse is true for Latinos, 64% of whom are age 49 or younger. Overall, among all voters, 35% of those 50 and over are Republicans; of those younger, only 23% were.
Already those younger and minority voters — 38% of the voter pool — are propping up Democrats in California. Democratic Gov. Jerry Brown has a positive job approval rating of 55% overall. Among white voters the rating is 51%. Among black voters, it is 61%, Among Latinos, it is 67%.
Other poll findings suggest no end to that imbalance. Asked their political ideology, 52% of those ages 49 and younger describe themselves as liberal, to 40% who say conservative. That is close to the opposite of those over 50, only 47% of whom say they are liberal to 58% conservative.
PHOTOS: Best political moments of 2013
Personal experience, events and candidates can prompt change, of course; Arnold Schwarzenegger’s larger-than-life candidacy in the 2003 recall upended the usual ethnic and ideological breaks , as to a lesser extent did his 2006 reelection campaign.
But after he left the stage, normalcy returned. And apart from the unlikely chance of another Arnold-like candidacy, there are few dynamics that could alter the current trajectory.
At this point, Republicans in the state largely continue to weigh against immigration reform and Obamacare, two key issues that help to define candidates for minority voters. And there’s not much to remake the GOP from the inside: The growing numbers of Latino voters in their ranks have applied consistent policy pressure on Democrats, but there’s no parallel pressure on the overwhelmingly white Republican party.

Wonderful article Priusracer46
I went outside for a nice cruise and stopped at a few different locations to walk around today. I've never seen so many fat slobs barely walking around in my life. WTF happened to this country???
Does anyone remember when it was embarrassing to be on food stamps? You hid that from any neighbor at all costs! Now it's totally cool and promoted. I guess these damn Republicans are just too fucked up, aren't they?
LOL

do you think this LA times story is wrong about the Republican Party being finished in this state? What proof do you have that shows the republican party having a bright future in this state?
There is no question that the Republican party is finished in California and the proof of this is that the majority of California
rejects the republican pro gun, anti student, anti minority, anti abortion, anti porn, pro religion anti gay and pro military platform.
The republicans know that Minorities, college kids in other states are following California's lead in rejecting the republican party so the republicans in turn enact "voter ID laws" because the conservative scum cant win a election fair and square.

Why is it that this is the only thread you seem to want to respond to? You like all those cdc gun stats I sent you. You like how they shot the shit out of your gun grabber lies. I sure did. Did you learn anything from them? Like you are full of shit, and you have been lying on gun control this whole time. I also said, Cali was going to shit for the last 3 years... Why? Dem controlled nanny state that rather have people on welfare than working. I also said, more people are leaving than coming, Crime rates are threw the roof, Companies are leaving at a faster rate every year. All because of the Dems. Notice how everything I said was the truth? Of course Cali is going to shit, it's Dem control it. Chi-town, L.A., New Orleans, D.C., all have the same problem.. Dems control them.
p.s. Stop watching Cnn. They are lying to you. O that is right. They aren't even going to be a new station any more. But still a great place to get info from.

He's not interested in a debate. He's the classic definition of a troll. Look at all the posts he's made on other forums. Having a normal interchange of ideas is not something he's into. There's a reason he's been banned from a bunch of other forums. I mean, he's been banned from Corral.net. That site is full of shit talkers, so you know if you get banned from there, you're a complete douche.

There you go again with your guns. You are living in the wrong state as most Californians don't give a shit about guns.
As a matter of fact, One of the things that makes California great is that Democrats who run it gladly use the face of the NRA as toilet paper by enacting some of the toughest gun legislation in the nation. At the local level, the city of Sunnyvale also used the face of the NRA as toilet paper by recently passing gun legislation that pissed of the NRA.
As mentioned earlier, California ranks 8th in the world in GDP. Governor Jerry Brown has a high approval rating. Even a Republican Mormon ass hole like Mitt Romney lives in California because California is a nicer place than a solidly republican state like Mississippi.
You gun blasting FOX news watching right wingers may not like California, but Tech companies, movie stars and minorities and many more think California kicks ass. I agree. California is also kicking some Republican ass as well.

Again this statement proves how retarded you are. I don't watch fox. I'm not even a Rep. So your failed attempts to call me these things, just makes you look even worse. Your circle jerk 374 failed. So did the worst of the gun control bills. SO I guess Cali & Brown aren't as pro gun control as you would like. You are 100 percent right on Dems controlling the state. Why do you think you have so much crime & welfare, and broke/bankrupt cities. Sure Cali if full of worthless takers that feed of the tit of society. Dems breed welfare people. Dems are takers. They take from people with money and give it to the people that won't go get it themselves. So As Dems control this state, they get full responsibility for their failed policies, that have lead this state in to the shitter. Again you learn anything from those Cdc stats Obummer ordered?

This is why the state is going to shit. Obama made 10 million his first 4 years in Office. Dems love the bribes.
http://www.kcra.com/news/State-senator-investigated-by-FBI-is-removed-from-committees/-/11797728/22941240/-/mfy9it/-/index.html
SACRAMENTO, Calif. (KCRA) —A California lawmaker accused of taking bribes from undercover federal agents has just lost some clout in the state Senate.
Sen. Ron Calderon, D-Montebello, was knocked down by fellow lawmakers Tuesday when members of the Senate Rules Committee removed him from several committees on which he served.
But, the Rules Committee stopped short Tuesday of launching an ethics investigation. An attorney hired by the Senate told lawmakers that the Assistant U.S. Attorney in charge of the federal investigation has said that a second probe could hamper the federal one.
Calderon could not be reached at his office on Tuesday, but released a written statement saying, in part, “I have not been charged or convicted with any unjust doing, yet I am being treated by this committee and some media outlets as if I had.”
“The appropriate action to take would be to allow me to continue the work I was elected to do and to allow me to remain on my committee assignments,” the statement read.
But, Senate President Pro Tem Darrell Steinberg said the committee’s decision was not meant to be a determination of Calderon’s guilt or innocence.
“I don’t wish Senator Calderon any ill will,” Steinberg told reporters after the hearing. “I hope that this is all untrue. But it isn’t about him. It is about protecting the integrity of the Senate.”
Calderon has been the subject of an ongoing FBI probe. Agents raided his Capitol office back in June. But the case was thrust back into the spotlight last month, when a sealed affidavit was leaked to Al Jazeera America, alleging that Calderon took bribes from undercover agents in exchange for promoting bills at the Capitol.
