always has been. Fortunately, demographically it is Democratic thanks to the population density areas of the coast. I'm a person that likes to go into the woods a lot and I find the politics in Northern California forested regions and Central Valley as right wing as those of Idaho and Montana. I do find that the people in those areas are forgotten by our liberals. Since when does a San Fransisco or Los Angeles based politician really care much about the loss of jobs in those places by the closing of mills and other income producing venues that have died there?

Even though their downturn in fortunes are because of right wing politics, the Democrats really haven't done anything for them to relieve their situation and get their votes. It's too bad.
