Uh, contrary to what you hear from Bill O'Reilly, "all the Hollywood
types" only comprise around 50% of L.A.'s population. The other half
vote conservative, and the population as a whole will vote for
whichever candidate they think is best, political party
notwithstanding. In total, L.A. votes centrist.

Well, if you completely ignore the several million staunch Republicans
who dominate the politics of the 100-mile coastal corrider that runs
all the way from Orange County in the north to San Diego in the south,
you might be right if it weren't for the fact that Democrats now
outnumber Republicans in inland San Bernardino County and are making
serious inroads in other inland districts as well...

Nope. It's still pretty much a Democratic majority in the north and a
Republican majority in the south
