    California: Blue, Red or Purple?
    Scholars, journalists, and others analyze the nature of the California electorate — the battlefield on which the governor's campaign was fought. Democrats control the Legislature and carry the state easily in presidential elections, yet Republicans have held the governorship for 19 of the last 24 years. Are we as blue as our reputation, secretly red, or some purple shade in between?

    Panelists: Bruce Cain, Director, Institute of Governmental Studies; Morris Fiorina (Professor of Political Science, Stanford University); Thad Kousser (Assistant Professor of Political Science, University of California at San Diego); Ted Lascher (Professor of Political Science, California State University, Sacramento)
