The Harbor Area: "Bluer" as in "Sadder"

Random Lengths News claims that the Harbor area is getting "bluer".

If "bluer" means "sadder", that would be a just assessment. Mr. Jerricks, the Managing Editor who wrote the article, is micromanaging an entire legacy out of one election cycle, assuming like the Democratic surrogate James Carville that the his party would reign for the next forty years. Then came 2010, the great shellacking, and the unnerving revelation for President "I AM" Barack Obama, who was both surprised and dismayed that the majority of Americans opposed his new entitlement, ironically entitled "ObamaCare."

I cannot think of a "bluer" outcome than for the Harbor Area Voters, who continue to vote Democrat but think Republican, who cast their vote for the Democratic candidates, and get elitist outcomes which favor the political class instead of every class of voter. The Republican Platform, without all the vitriol of marginal elements, advances a program which enhances individual liberty and communal responsibility, better than the state ever could. The notion that taxing rich people will solve all our problems is just the classic "class-warfare" propaganda which hurts all classes, especially the middle.

After reviewing the lackluster ascendancy of flip-flop "Mitt", I am not surprised that a larger number of voters simply chose not to vote. One stunning statistic informed me that 24 million Evangelical voters did not go to the polls in November. The GOP standard-bearer was substandard to too many, and the low-turnout hurt Huey and helped Muratsuchi, who will in turn help no one and hurt this state along as part of the crass and overblown supermajority in Sacramento.

That's what really happened in the South Bay: a depressed turnout, and thus a majority percentage of Torrance voters supported the Torrance School Board Members who has overseen one of  the most impoverished periods of Torrance Unified, where pensions and benefits remain unreformed, where large bureaucrats still rule the roost at the Plaza Del Amo central office. Obama hit hard with one last surge, plus a horde of paid-door knockers relying on donations from outside of the district.
