Most of California has had it. They know its going down the toilet. The irony is, while it is headed down the toilet, there isn’t enough water to flush.
People are starting to figure out we need to get some adults behind the controls pretty quick.

A State Department ceremony [2006], Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice warmly acknowledged the family members of Mark Dybul, whom she was swearing in as the nation's new global AIDS coordinator.
As first lady Laura Bush looked on, Rice singled out his partner, Jason Claire, and Claire's mother. Rice referred to her as Dybul’s mother-in-law.
Kamila by a mile.
My read is that he was California’s last hope for decent leadership, but he got waylaid by his own party to make way for the Governator.
Rice would have to be an vast improvement over Boxer or the presumed replacement Kamala “I’m not pursuing the death penalty against cop killers” Harris. She’s likely a Scott Brown type, politically speaking - liberal on social issues, good on defense and fiscal matters. Not ideal, but I’ll take it in deep blue California.
That said, I don’t think she’ll run. She’s not shown much interest in politics, and has kept many of her political positions to herself. She seems a rather private person.
There is, also, the potential 800-pound elephant in the room. There have been whispers about Rice’s sexual orientation since day one. IF she is gay, she’s chosen to keep it a private matter. It would not stay private if she ran for elected office. And it would be used against her by some of the folks who claim to be “okay with gay.” I can just see Flynt and Allred salivating at the chance to smear and destroy Rice.
She would be the Sen. Collins of the West.
About as good as we could hope for from CA.
Go, Condi!
Funny but that is a really good fit.
We are never going to get a conservative or GOP-e to take Boxer’s seat but Rice might be able to do it.
Lots of Silicon Valley connections.
Still a bit of a longshot but there are LOTS of worse Republicans we could put in there.
He got T3’d by arnie and the GOPers.
DO voters get what they deserve?
We got MoonBeam 2.
And debt.
For which you can thank Carl Rove and George Bush for having put Gerry Parsky in charge of the money in the CA-GOP.
Apparently Kamala Harris, criminal atty gen of Cali, has announced on the Demwit side.
