The fewer of those nogoodniks, the better. Far less of a chance that unsuspecting voters will get screwed.

Nor did Feinstein. I can't remember any Statewide candidate winning here. Debra Bowen, SoS, Bill Lockyear, SoS and AG, Orange County ignored their great service.

So this is a good sign. We have finally broken through!

It is important.

1. Hillary won the county for the first time since the Great Depression

But the main point is we have a huge minority population that basically wemall get along. Hispanic, Vietnamese, Chinese, Indian, etc. Most of the cities have the lowest crime rates in the Country. You don't survive in the OC being an ignorant racist, and everyone works together to make things better for their kids.

The media should be all over the OC and focusing on what is right about the OC.
