Well, you are right about one thing - you know nothing of the State politics

Democrats have had a virtual lock on this State for at least five years. So much so that their primary nemesis was their own moderate Governor, Jerry Brown. Think about that - conservatives had been so utterly decimated that the only thing standing in the way of the State legislature was a Governor from their own party.

They have a pliant Governor now but it is irrelevant - he can't even veto their bills anymore. He's a hood ornament and he knows it.

And astoundingly, outrageously, you actually think State Republicans, who have basically been an endangered species for years...are actually to blame. Wow. As it stands the last Republican Governor of the State was basically a Democrat anyway. But sure, maybe its all Pete Wilson's fault.
