Naturally, the majority my stupid radical leftist state, CA, would approve of Obama. The most stupid liberal state in the country. Afterall, what does one expect when CA approves of Nancy Pelosi.

If she was a resident of any other state, she would be out by now.

San Fran- the most liberal city in the country. CA, the most populated state in the country.

We suck.
