So what? He was elected every time. Maybe that's because he was a good, competent, and valuable man. Yet you would toss him because you don't trust your fellow voters.

It's not the fix you hope it would be. While I understand the sentiment, our energies would be more effective logically redirected.
Of course he was. That is because they have put any number of rules in place to keep anyone else from having a chance at running for the job.

California has any number of problems and has had for a very long time. While you may want to cry about term limits I really doubt they made the state suck any worse than it already did. That ship sailed when California decided that election fraud was just the bees eyebrows. Or maybe when it decided that the little red hen was just an ol meanie and roasted her for supper.
