What would pass as "moderate" in California?

Ballot propositions:

Prop 227 English only education in public schools Passed
Prop 209 No more affirmative action in State hiring or education Passed
Prop 22 Heterosexual marriage only Passed
Prop 187 No benefits for illegal aliens Passed

Here is the last poll before the recall by USA Today/CNN/GALLUP.

"If the choice were between Cruz Bustamante, the Democrat and Tom McClintock, the Republican, who would you be more likely to vote for: Cruz Bustamante or Tom McClintock?"

September 25-27
Registered Voters

McClintock 49%
Bustamante 42%

Probable Voters

McClintock 56%
Bustamante 37%

Simon lost to Davis by only 325,000 votes after the most incompetent campaign in history and while being stabbed in the back by his own Party.

Don't give me that crap about California until you know what the hell you are talking about. The problem in this State is a gerrymandered legislature, not the voters.

Thank you. Votes don't always count in this state, and the liberal judges legislating from the bench don't help either.

Uh huh. We need to turn redistricting over to an non-partisan elections agency or adopt PR. If PR were adopted, Republican chances would be even better thanks to getting a proportionate share of the vote in terms of seats. Reforms of course, which the Democrats who benefit from lopsided representation in a gerrymandering legislature, are dead-set against.

Which of those moderate positions is Arnie not on board with?

You can't blame gerrymandering on the voting decisions made in 2000.

Bush 4,567,429

Gore 5,861,203

Nader 418,707

The problem is California's voters are a majority of nutjobs.

Since by your point you just rendered the voters impotent, negating your cites of various ballot propositions, again, What kind of Budget can be passed in Commiefornia?
