do repubs in Cal usually stay home on election day

[pstokely]

since they usually have no chance?

1. no..

they keep it somewhat close because of their turnout and low turnout on the dem side.

that's why a huge turnout today will most likely mean the dems came out in force

2. Nope, they vote early and often just like anywhere else...

... and to say they don't usually have a chance isn't quite accurate. Up until Gray Davis, we'd had 16 straight years of Republican governors... and while they're a minority, there are plenty of Republicans in the state legislature and in the congressional delegation.
