The posters on this thread do not seem to realize that CA has a bicameral legislature and it takes a 2/3 vote of both houses to pass a tax increase. I have not heard anything about the other chamber, the assembly, so I assume that the RATS won't get a 2/3 margin there.
As for the CA Senate, who knows what will happen? As Cal Coolidge said, "If you see 10 troubles coming down the road, nine of them will fall by the side before they get to you."
For those of you who want to bail out, be my guest. I am staying here and fighting by contributing to Republican candidates. This place is too crowded anyway.

I hate going there, but I found these numbers on Kos:
- Safe Dem: 35
- Likely Dem: 9
- Lean Dem: 3
- Toss-Up: 12
- Lean GOP: 7
- Likely GOP: 8
- Safe GOP: 6
It's not encouraging. If the Rats get a majority of the toss-ups, they can have their 2/3 majority in the Assembly.
