Yeah, they're not that stupid...most of them are from la-la land though. As for them getting re-elected well, the problem is the majority of the population lives in either L.A., S.F. or a few selected liberal costal enclaves. If you look at an election map of California about 80% of the land area votes Republican and Conservative, the other 20% votes the other way but the problem is that 20% has the 55% of voters that vote the other way...a good example is the 2004 Presidential election.
2004 Presidential General Election Results - California
I guarantee you I, and just about everyone I know, didn't vote for a one of them.
If you look at the map you'll see what I said is true. Although all that land area went for Bush what were the results of the actual California vote in 2004? Kerry 54.31% and Bush 44.36%.
(And yes, I didn't use 2008 on purpose because I believe that was an anomaly since so many people were ticked off at Bush combined with the fact that the Republicans really didn't have a decent candidate either)
