He has essentially taken a dump on the California electoral vote by ignoring major problems the state is having to deal with. Frankly, California has been soiling itself for quite a while now.

Around 1995 the LAUSD had close to a $9 billion dollar budget. Even at that time over one third of it's students were the children of illegal immigrants. This means that $3 billion dollars was only the education price tag for the children of illegal immigrants in just one town.
It's 2004, nine years later. Since 1995 we have spent around $30 billion dollars to educate the children of illegal immigrants in just Los Angeles.
The citizens of California voted to quit spending money on illegal immigrants and their children. As you may recall, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals overturned that election. Gray Davis never appealed it to the Spreme Court.
Now you can blame California all you like, but Californians do not appoint the members of the 9th Circuit Court. Today the state is around $40 billion in debt. As I have shown you, $30 billion of that is the cost of educating the children of parents from another nation. California does not set immigration policy, or have the authority to manage the borders of this nation, even it's own.
This doesn't even address the issues of the schools outside of Los Angeles in the state. It doesn't address the healthcare costs for illegals across the state. It doesn't address additional police, courts and prison costs.
Yep, remind me of how California's problems are all of it's own devising. You say that California has been messing itself. No my friend, it's been messed on, and we're sick of it. Federal government policy and appointments have almost singlehandedly destroyed it.
