The reason for our disastrous showing in California for the GOP can be attributed to one thing... Ah-nold. Just imagine if he had been the Conservative he acted like he was gonna be (for which yours truly knew was a giant steaming load from the get-go). Shouldn’t be surprised at all at the wipeout.
The Gubernator never began to stand up to the liberals who control California’s public life. Supporting him is by far the worst political call I’ve ever made.
Some of the biggest dissapointments this year were the defeats of Van Tran, Charles Djou, and Joseph Cao. Demographics matter, regardless of the year.
He tried, at first, to bypass those numb nuts but was handed losses by the voters and neutered thus he became "Davis light" for political survival.
For Dems there may have been some extra motivation against the Tea Party movement elsewhere.
We're back to an all Dem gov't with nearly two-thirds supermajorities in both houses of the legislature. It's like Grey Davis (Brown's old chief of staff) all over again. CA voters (really L.A. voters since SF is never not gonna go Dem) may just be stuck on stupid.
