California's Power Could Shift Inland

The Sacramento Bee's Dan Walters takes a look at the shift and what it could mean for the state.

"The most obvious adjustment will be a major shift of districts from slow-growing coastal – and mostly Democratic – coastal counties to rapidly growing inland areas, which have tended to vote Republican.

One of the geographic shifts is likely to be a loss for the nine-county San Francisco Bay Area, whose population growth rate (5.4 percent) is scarcely half of the state's 10 percent."
