Why is Orange County Still Republican?
Yesterday's election transformed all of Southern California into majority-Democratic counties. Only Orange Co & remote Del Norte county are majority-Republican coastal counties. And only some Central Valley & sparsely populated Sierra counties are Republican.
When will Orange county go the way of all the other urban counties in California & become Democratic? Anyone embarrassed that Orange county is still Republican?

People that work for a living and take care of their own problems instead of waiting for the government to fix everything?

I AM embarrassed that enough Americans expect so much of their government that they elected the guy who promised to take care of everyone. Free health care for you! Free education for you! Free house for you! Free gas for you!

I am embarassed by Orange County's republican-ness.
Well, not really embarassed, but can't seem to find a good word for it...
But, I am highly liberal/democratic.

So does that mean that San Diego county people "don't work" all of a sudden since they became a Democratic county? Or that San Bernardino & Riverside counties want government to fix everything? How do you explain the common ground with Kern\ King\ Tulare\ Butte counties [all agricultural counties with relatively small towns in remote hot inland California?
Something I wouldn't be proud of unless you are more yahoo than Californian.
