DESPITE its place as the most populous state in the union (by a wide margin), California gets the same number of Senate representatives as the tiniest U.S. state.

LOL. Senate representatives? You see, when the nationalists sprung this Constitution on us, they had to give it the appearance of being at least partly-federal. Sure, it was a national system. But they couldn't sell it that way. So they made TWO houses. One, of the people, with proportional representation, the other, with equal representation. Oh nevermind.

Ever since the 17th Amendment Senators have represented political parties and special interests instead of the States.

She’s a damn sight better than the alternative. California and the nation have had enough of Barbara Boxer’s foolishness.

“the most dynamic state in the union”.

Are they really serious, the most people on welfare maybe, but I would not call it the most dynamic.

How things have changed over the years!

As a paper boy in the 1950's, I delivered the (original) Daily News, which was an afternoon paper very heavily leaning to the Dems and unions.

On weekends, I sold the L. A. Times in front of a local church, and it was ultra-conservative, very republican and anti-union. The Hearst paper, the Examiner, was the was a bit of a left leaning rag.

There were five newspapers in LA, along with literally dozens in surrounding towns, Pasadena, Long Beach, Santa Monica, Alhambra, Santa Ana, El Monte, and so on. Great variety, widely different viewpoints.

Its a shame what has happened!
