You seem to be describing yourself and showing your ignorance OC is a county not a city.

Look at the demographics of Sanchez's district and you wouldn't be surprised.

Obama ran a much better campaign than McCain who also suffered from Bush's unpopularity.

You can't stop voting age anchor babies from voting.

And large parts of the entire state of California is populated and controlled by mindless liberal Democrats that are rapidly turning the state into a clone of the old Soviet Union. Thank heaven that there are still a few bastions of conservatism in some parts of the state. The so called stupid conservative Republicans, as you designate them, have left and are leaving the state in droves. Their goal has been to flee from the infection of liberalism, which has virtually destroyed the state and the nation. Since this group are the productive ones, California sinks farther into decline. There have been dozens of threads with thousands of posts on this topic, some time spent with them would be enlightening.

After they are gone, taking their wealth, productivity, and skills with them, who are those that are left going to leech off of in their newly created supposedly Marxist Utopia?

So, basically, they practice hypocrisy.
OC is more politically complex than many realize.

Two OC cities, Seal Beach and Huntington Beach, voted for McCain and against Prop 8. (Perhaps the only places in the state which did).

Meanwhile, Anaheim, Fullerton, and Santa Ana voted for Obama and voted overwhelmingly for Prop 8.

While OC is generally conservative, and hasn't gone for a Dem since FDR, it is hardly politically homogenous. It has some interesting quirks.

Sorry, your math is incorrect. McCain defeated Obama by a 4-point margin in 2008 (in what was otherwise the best presidential election performance for Democrats since LBJ's landslide in 1964). If Dems couldn't win the county in 2008 when they had all the cards in their favor, they'll never win it.

If it's "changing" so much, then please explain to me why Meg Whitman defeated Jerry Brown by a whopping 20-point margin (57-37%) in O.C. in the 2010 CA gubernatorial election, despite losing by a whopping 13-point margin statewide?

And if it's "changing" so much as you claim, then please explain to me why Carly Fiorina defeated Barbara Boxer by a whopping 21-point margin (58-37%) in O.C. in the 2010 U.S. Senate election, despite Fiorina losing by a 10-point margin statewide?

Also, while Loretta Sanchez has indeed been elected and reelected eight times, her performace this past election (2010) was her worst since she was first elected. Meanwhile, in the same election, Orange County's five GOP congressman were all reelected by huge margins, while she squeaked by.

If anything, all three of these recent results from 2010, reinforce the reality that Orange County is one of the most heavily Republican counties in America and remains a GOP stronghold.
