Well, CA is down to 186,626 Notaries....
Thanks to Linda's post below, as it turns out CA's SOS, as of Oct. 7th, has published a list of the state's active notaries.

It's not a search form. You have to download the compressed file for the list. They say the list is updated daily.
For reference, the numbers of notaries in recent years, as taken from the handbooks published each year:
2005: 236,000 2006: 260,000 2007: 288,000 2008: 290,000 2009: 260,000 2010: 225,000
Now, according to the zip file I downloaded tonight, we're down to 186,626. If my math is right, that's now 36% drop in almost 3 years.
