The truth is that you have to have attractive candiddates, (I obviously don’t mean physically), who have a message and are seeking office for reasons, other than some sense of entitlement. Meg Whitman? Really? Shall I go on?
I really liked Meg. No she wasn’t perfect. Nothing in politics is. But both she and Carly had very attractive business backgrounds who lead our state’s two most dynamic high tech corporations. Contrast this to the two partisan party hacks who defeated them. Californians really do have their heads firmly embedded up their rectums. People seem to have forgotten that Jerry Brown appointed Rose Bird to the state supreme court. And Boxer is simply the worst of the worst.
