34 and 37% turnout?

I am not one to point fingers, but what in the wide wide world of sports is going on in Riverside and Orange County?

County Precincts--- Reg'd Voters--- Ballots Cast ---% Turnout
Riverside -1,282 ------------754,986 --------260,591 -----------34.5%
Orange ---2,054 -----------1,497,365 -------559,511 ------------37.4%

I know Arnold is not your favorite kind of Republican, but what about Tom McClintock? He lost the election by just over 300,000 votes. If you had gotten off your rear ends and voted at least as well as we did Yolo County (52%) you would cast another 352,000 votes. I know I am being simplistic, not all those votes would go to Republicans but you get the idea. I know its easy to get discouraged but your GOTV effort sucked.

Hopefully in 2008 we will have Republicans you can get behind, but don't make me come down there.

You wouldn't like either county.

It wouldn't do any good.
