The real problem is that the GOP in California lacks self-esteem and confidence.
They won a victory in 1994 on immigration and since then have let the media shame them into impotent silence.

You are correct. I'll be voting for Kaloogian... and NO on Prop 55-58.

You are dreaming about 1994. My father was salivating about that before the election, and took off for Washington immediately afterwards. He and Leon Panetta then spent two weeks plotting on how the Clinton Admninistration could use it to bury the GOP in California. He told me what he was up to in loving detail at the time (I'm a Republican and he's a Democrat) and has gloated at me about it ever since.
