I'm fed up. But I don't want to think. So I'll just vote no on everything, even if that means crashing and burning the state.

That's the message of the voters in CA, according to this editorial. Actually, I think it's a little more subtle than that. The voters are, overwhelmingly, rats. But a lot of even them see that their party crashed the state in only five years. For those rats who have realized how badly their party has done, Schwartznegger is their non-crash insurance--and that comprises a majority for Schwartznegger.

But they aren't, and will probably never be, ready to give actual political power over to R's.

My prediction is that the next item on the agenda will be a tax increase.

Nope. The message they sent Tuesday is we like reform as long as its talk. But if threatens everything we hold near and dear we'll bitch slap it down. No politician is going to take the voters that seriously again. They don't mean it.
