Actually, though California's 55 electoral votes have gone to Democrats in the last few elections (four, I think?), in reality it's the big cities that make it so. The smaller counties and towns are steadfastly Republican.

Check out this map of 2004 by county:

The last time California elected a Republican was George Bush Sr. in 1988, and before that of course it was Reagan's state. Fortunately, not all of California is like San Diego, Orange, Riverside, or Santa Barbara County politically.

Texas was close, though- too close to call right away.

I believe Orange might be slightly more democrat this election.

Here in Buena Park, more people are feeling the need for change.

Santa Barbara county has been Blue for several years & both Riverside & San Bernardino counties are expected to also vote for Obama. Even Fresno county! The GOP are finding their territory shrinking to just Orange & Kern plus a few other Central Valley counties
