If CA is like New York, then I think it would benefit Republicans. Lots of conservatives upstate and in Long Island, but NYC is overwhelmingly Democrat and makes up over 40% of the population (and if you check the relative size of NYC to the rest of the state, you can understand why I'm leaving!).
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
