California turned away the Republican wave that swept over the rest of the country, including in the gubernatorial election. Does the Democratic registration advantage in the state give Democrats an almost insurmountable edge in statewide elections? Can Republicans hope to consistently win in California, and if so, how? After an election year in which California deviated from the national trend, we consider whether it's the state's underlying political reality, rather than the campaigns, that determine the outcome of California's elections.
