The California idea of "conservative" is Arnold, and Bush is hated more in California than any other state, how can you go wrong?

You're right on the point that political ideological fervor is comparative.
However, you overlook the fact that the "Reagan Revolution" came from California along with other conservative ideological nuggets like Prop 13 and 3 Strikes laws. Orange County, with is Bob Dornan types, have always been near the forefront of conservatism in the US.
Plus it also depends on your definition of conservatism--fiscal conservatives versus social conservatives... paleo (Goldwater era) conservatives vs. neo-conservatives.
