Did Bush campaign here? Yes, he made something like two appearances one day.
Think he cared about California's electoral vote? Think he gave a damn about the citizen of the U.S. that lived there?
He's willing to cut loose a state that when measured by other nations, would be fifth or sixth in the world. Now there's a brain trust for you.
I look for the San Fernando Valley and the South Bay to get enough residents mad to have the vote to form their own cities and leave the core of L.A to be a human sewer with no tax base left to support it.
