It wasn't in CA, however the point of my posting was, political agenda leads to political priority and this priority appears to be a major concern to CA for even after the removal of a sitting Governor to alleviate pertinent financial issues, politics reigns high with the people of CA, thus politics is what they get.
In the case of the "painter" becoming Mayor, it wasn't because he was considered the best "politician" for the job, it was because he was deemed the best person for the job because of his lack of political savvy.
I hope my reply is reasonable to you and isn't considered lacking of substance.
