August1991 Posted April 3 Report Posted April 3 (edited) From what I understand, California will choose (among two) their governor in November 2026. But they have an initial vote in June 2026 - to decide who will be the two. At present, there are several zillion candidates but it seems the top two are Republican. ===== Like Canada, California has about 30 million people. We have two federal official languages and 10 provinces. Caifornia has better weather. Edited April 3 by August1991 Quote

Because Cali has mandated a very specific blend of gasoline, they can't get gas from any other state. In addition, refineries are closing fairly often with potentially more to come very soon. In addition, Cali actually relies on oil from the Gays of Hormuz. (Apparently Straight of Hormuz was not inclusive). So those refineries are short on oil and stations cannot get gas from out of state. As a result, their gas is almost $6 a gallon. Republicans can also beat the Dems over the head with the fires, homelessness, fraud, crime, illegal aliens, riots and so on. Then the Eric Swalwell files come out and we will all know what he told is Asian Honeypot. But that oil crisis is a point A to point B, clearly a government caused problem and Cali is clearly to blame. In short, it is kind of the perfect storm to get another R in Cali. Don't mistake that for flipping the state. Cali is still an absolutely gorgeous state made intolerable by the people that live there. But, the D's may have been so bad that they reached the point that people will make a change. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?

In my opinion, California should separate into two states. Quote
gatomontes99 Posted May 10 Report Posted May 10 LA is desperately hoping to elect another liberal mayor. And they are failing hard: LA will go conservative in 2026. Cali will elect a Republican. Quote Don't you think that if I were wrong that I would know it?
