I think it should be called 'California' and the rest of the state should be "Pelosi-topia".  :coolsmiley:

I think the rest of the state might be happy to see them go.  It might be a mutually agreeable divorce.

Looks like it's pretty much the conservatives have had enough of the liberals' bullsh*t. Somehow too this will be Trump's fault.

The irony of that map being that Santa Clara County (w/ San Jose) really belongs in blue, since that's where you've got Cupertino, Palo Alto, Sunnyvale, and Mountain View, to go along w/ San Jose and Santa Clara, while Monterey County should be in yellow, as the heavy agricultural county just to the south.  Yes, Monterey County hits the coast (and would cause a non-contiguous blue band up and down the coast) but the political/social leanings of that county overall are far, far more conservative than most of the surrounding areas.  The whole Salina River valley is like driving through a salad bar - tomatoes, onions, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, artichokes, garlic, radishes, strawberries, cabbage...  all up and down that valley and each with their own town.
