They still believe that crap about “as California goes, so goes the nation”. Poor things haven’t bothered to notice that nobody, I mean NOBODY is following them anymore.
I know right? When is the last time Cali set the trend for anything political!

Actually, that’s not completely true. Colorado is very much following the CA model. Former gov ritter turned the state over to employee’s unions four years ago by executive order. As a result, Colorado stayed blue last night even though the rest of the country went red. There is still an off chance we could end up with a majority in one of the state houses. But by and large, the wave missed us completely. Our inability to easily win the state assembly or senate in a wave election says that CO is gone because whatever we win this year, we will lose two years from now when the stars are not so well aligned.
What pisses me off is that I left CA and moved to CO when Grey Davis came to power, partly because I saw what was coming in CA. And now the same cesspool has spread to my native state, CO. Maybe I should just stay put so I don’t ruin any more states. :)
