The fact that Jerry Brown might be elected is a perfect indication of just how failed a failed state California really is.
Truer words...
I lived in CA during his regime and since. Duekmejian and Pete Wilson did good damage control, but the slide into socialism was relentless. I am now of the opinion that the sooner the socialist state collapses, the sooner we can restore a legitimate Constitutional form of government. The California Republican party is irredeemably RINO collaborationist. and the Legislature will remain firmly under the control of the socialists. Jerry Brown presents the best opportunity to destroy the socialist state. He will do exactly as Gray Davis did and accelerate the bankruptcy with out-of-control spending. The credit rating is already lowest in the nation, and when the socialists can't borrow, it's over for them.
I expect Brown to win. I may have to shoot myself after that.
We Conservative Californians are doomed.
