Californians are going to cry when the rest of the country recovers from this recession and they don't because their state is run by idiots and thugs.
Did anyone really expect California to elect a conservative, Tea Party type Governor? California and Massachusetts = “The Land of The Hopelessly Lost”.
He’s steeped in something...
Productive Californians need to stop feeding the monkeys and move themselves and their businesses out of that state.
The problem with CA is that, as its policies become whackier and more business/growth unfriendly, the people it’s been squeezing to pay for those policies leave. And the more of those people who leave, the fewer sane voters there are, and the more likely more nutty policies will be implemented in the future.
I strongly believe that no state should receive more in federal funds than its taxpayers pay, minus that percentage of federal operating costs. CA should not benefit from redistribution of wealth from other states.
But, when a state gets used to living in liberal hell - it's hard to break the habit!
Nothing but Moon Beams and they don’t produce wealth.
It should be sinking in by now that running as a progressive results in DEFEAT.
The same result for Fiorina who took the same “moderate” stand, hoping that independent voters would flock to them.Well thats not the case.
The Karl Rove model is officially “history”.
If Republicans do not join the conservative camp, they soon will be “history”.That's what the million dollar boondoggle campaigns of Whitman and Fiorina tell us.
The same can be said for Massachusetts races.
Heh. California is about to confirm the definition of insanity. I just hope the GOP stands firm and refuses to offer any bailout to them.
Honestly, I am glad we won’t have RINO fingerprints on the California fiscal trainwreck. Let Brown, his Sacramento cronies and the public employee unions own this thing lock, stock and barrel. Here in Virginia public employees are forbidden by law from unionizing for collective bargaining purposes. Over time this has been critical in maintaining our comparatively strong economy and honest elections. I hope Governor McDonnell has his Director of Business Recruitment on his way to California to pick over the bones. I know he will strongly resist a federal bailout for the man-made disaster which is California.
I don't know if the rest of the country realizes how many illegal voters there are here as well. I had to almost force the poll worker to inspect my drivers license and passport. She look somewhat offended.
Actually... California lost... BIG!

We’ll Californians will get what they voted for and they better not come looking for a handout from the rest of us.
California “where the scum meets the sea” just reaffirmed itself as the lamest, silliest, least stable amalgam of dopes in the nation.
If I were Whitman, my first wo orders of business would be: [a] Going too the neareast U.S attorney’s and DA’s offices, and swearing out criminal complaints against the housekeep for fraud, filing false written instruments, forgery, etc.
I’d then drop by ICE [with a reporter or two] and inquire about her deportation date [assuming prosecution is declined].
The I’d stroll over to the California Bar and file a grievance seeking Gloria Alred’s disbarment on the grounds of incompetence of counsel [having her “client” publicly go for a couple of felonies].
Then maybe a latte.
You have Brown the clown.
This is the dem game plan:
Raise taxes.
Provide more social services.
The consequences of which will be:
Massive influx of more worthless people.
Massive exodus of whatever remains of industry and productive people.
FALLING revenue and total collapse of the wordl's 6th largest economy. This ain't no piddlin' Greece we're talking about.
Sadly, a beautiful state must be sacrificed in order to demonstrate to Americans the folly of socialism. (Why we can't learn from the PIIGS I don't know.)
I'm not at all sure there will even be a California in 4 years.
