Alaska, Georgia,North and South Carolina are all below the national average. Only Florida comes "close" to California, with 91.3%. | |

Northern California is as rural as eastern Washington and Oregon. I believe it is Democrat for another reason. Show me the data and I'll be willing to change my mind. | |

Texas and Florida are diverse. I don't believe your theory holds. I would agree that trading cities have a natural tendency to be liberal, but I believe California is strictly Democrat for another reason. | |
