I'm not familiar with California legislature procedures. Is there some sort of strategery by abstaining versus voting for, or against? Maybe the Republicans are simply sitting on the sidelines and letting the Democrats and the Governator battle it out?

Great -- the Republicans are not willing to stand up and fight WITH our Republican governor, AGAINST the Dems, to solve the CA budget CRISIS, they are sitting on their hands or voting WITH the Dems, as McClintock did. I guess he wanted to send the message, that he is WITH the Dems against all other Republicans.

I think the Republicans voted against the bill because they wanted a STRONGER one with more spending caps....go figure...
