Only the first 9 words will turn out true.
But that will be good enough, we dont need a landslide - 52% will be landslide enough. :-)
The article made some good points. Voters in 1994, 1998 and 2000 *passed* conservative ballot propositions. The media couldnt *taint* the ballot props the way they can candidates, and people showed their true beliefs - they know bilingual education doesnt work, they know illegal immigrant are a burden on social services, and they think marriage is between men and women. These are no "divisive" so much as non-PC beliefs. The voters suppported that. The writer is right ... the recent Democratic dominance does not mean the state is Liberal. It's far less Liberal than New York, a state that now has GOP Governor and New York mayor.
The right GOP candidate can appeal and overcome the nasty lock the liberal special interests have on the statehouse. Bill Simon has the right appeal. It wont be easy, but he will win: $12B deficit; Davis totally bungled energy and socked Cali with $40B in energy bills; education, he gave the rundown, it is helping kids (simon is "pro-kid") versus sucking up to the leftwing special interests as Davis has done, and ignore the kids. If Simon make the fiscal budget, energy and education *his* issues, and shows a positive agenda that disarms the leftists, he will win and Davis will LOSE.
