Bush lost Blue state California by 10 points but did real well in the poorer inland countiea that tend to be white-mexician in 2004. Kern went a whopping 66 percent while Romney only received 59 percent. A lot of whites came to Kern from La and so forth but probably a lot of whites left. Bush also got 59 percent of Orange County but Romney only 53 percent. Lots of whites left OC as the housing got expense to Riverside and many out of the state. The super minority the Dems now have on California was causedd by the housing bubble empyting out of the white population and the redistricting that made it easier for Dems to win in former Republcian districts in Orange, San Diego or Riverside.
