Orange county is the Republican stronghold of California. Gotcha Grymlo!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_County,_California
Politics
Orange County has long been known as a Republican stronghold and has consistently sent Republican representatives to the state and federal legislatures. Republican majorities in Orange County helped deliver California's electoral votes to Republican presidential candidates Richard Nixon (1960, 1968 and 1972), Gerald Ford (1976), Ronald Reagan (1980, 1984), and George H. W. Bush (1988). Orange County has not voted for a Democratic presidential candidate since Franklin D. Roosevelt's 1936 landslide re-election for a second term.

Everyone who is new to the area has to do the Rose Parade.

Pasadena is definitely a Los Angeles city. I used to live in this area. Old town Pasadena is filled with revelry the night (week) before of the Rose Parade. I used to go to the parade as a teenager. It is crowded. As a local I know where to park and not get scalped. However, if were you, I would park at a metro rail station and take it to Memorial Park station. The Gold line runs through some dodgy parts of LA. Although it would require riding two lines, I can recommend the Universal City metro parking lot as a safer spot to start. Plus you can park your car and walk up to Universal City walk before you go to the parade.
The station you get off at is
Memorial Park Station This will let you off about 3 blocks from the heart of Old Town.
If you are not familiar with Los Angeles freeways you will get frustrated. It can be hard to get over in the right lane and one wrong lane will futz you up, especially if you are new to the area.
People camp out the night before. If you are going to do this then bring warm gear get there early and stake your spot out or buy a bleacher seat. Enjoy. I can answer many questions about Old Town and Pasadena.
