1. Most people in this state don't remember him or were not around when he was Governor.
2.Since all the private sector jobs are gone in California the government employees are a huge force so the union thugs are paid to campaign and they control some polling sites.
3. The young Mexican population is like a political tsunami. Their population is growing exponentially. They are well informed by the Spanish speaking media to vote for Dems for welfare benefits and amnesty for their parents.
I would like to leave the state if Jerry Brown gets in and if voters pass prop 25 (a simple majority vote to pass more taxes). The liberal commies will raise taxes and destroy the protections of prop 13, raising property taxes “for the children”. Unfortunately I am anchored to a financially upside down house that can't be sold without a huge loss.
You forgot number 4. The Cali state Unions have waged an all out war to get this man elected. The daily crap coming in the mail and phone calls are non stop demanding on behalf of the hardworking Cali citizen to vote Democrat. It’s such an endless mindscrew where the blind buy the slop. You can’t rationalize with a person who falls for all the B.S.
