California Republican Party Leadership Tries To Reverse Decades-Long Slide Into Irrel

Crabtownboy · Feb 27, 2013

You know the saying, "As California goes, so goes the nation."

As Republicans nationwide reconsider the party's direction, nowhere is their challenge more daunting than in California.

The state that produced Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon and the "Orange County conservative" has banished the GOP to the margins, with the party now accounting for less than 30 percent of all registered voters.

The decades-long slide became painfully apparent following last fall's election, when Republicans lost four congressional seats and Democrats captured supermajorities in both houses of the California Legislature. Latinos, Asians, women and younger voters who make up the bulk of the state's electorate all turned away from a party that is seen as driven by conservatives who are out of touch with their views.
