California voters have spoken -- and for the most part, they decided to stop the wave of anti-Democratic voting that swept the nation at the Sierras.
Now California will have a Democratic governor, Democratic Legislature and with the passage of Prop. 25, Democratic budgeting process. For years now, the Dems have been blaming the Republican minority for the state's budget woes. That's over for the next two years. Whatever happens next with California -- it will be on Jerry Brown and his party. I sure hope Brown will prove to be the maverick he hinted he would be.
Talk to your average California Republican voter and you heard little enthusiasm for Meg Whitman. Conservatives voted for Whitman because she wasn't Jerry Brown. . . .

The CA voters got hosed. Brown like so many others used fraud to obtain his office.
I really and truly and desperately want to see what happens to CA. I have been reading since THE SEVENTIES!!!! about this state or that state being on the brink of bankruptcy and complete and total meltdown and anarchy, kids eating Grandma in the street just to get food and burning her body to stay warm, etc... But it NEVER EVER EVER happens. Can anybody tell me why not? Do these states always get bailed out by the Fed, i.e., me and you? When will the day of reckoning truly come? It’s beginning to seem that liberalism is a GREAT deal, live forever on printed money, promises, other people’s money, and pensions, and never suffer the consequences.
” and California exits left “
And I wonder how many of California’s few remaining businesses will be ‘exiting stage right’...
The Giant Sucking Sound could be deafening......
The Republicans in Congress must build a fiscal fence around California.
When their SEIU and AFSCME lead Government send the State down the toilet, it must be clear California is responsible for their own mess.
They still believe that crap about “as California goes, so goes the nation”. Poor things haven’t bothered to notice that nobody, I mean NOBODY is following them anymore.
Mexifornia is lost. The only good it might do is as a demonstration piece of the foils of Marxism and free immigration.
This settles it- californians are crazy. Of all the demonRATs they could have put in the state house, they picked THIS one? Moonbeam started them down the road to ruin, so they put him back in to finish the job?
I hope Brown is prepared- the American people will NOT bail him out when CA goes right down the tube.
California and New York made their choices - They chose tax and spend while the rest of the country went for reductions. Now California and New York can drown in their own bile. Don’t look for help from the rest of the country. There is no reason to try to help those who won’t help themselves.
Sure like to see the breakdown of voters (welfare recipients, government employees, single mothers, illegals?).
I read somewhere that California’s greatest export is hard-working, tax-paying citizens.
The parasites are on the verge of killing the host in California.
Great Job California. A guy who admitted he had no plan and lied to the electorate in his first Governorship in CA, just got another chance. Proof that being a scumbag is a Dem resume enhancement! And Boxer? My god people!
The Democrats now own California, and the public employee unions own the Democrats.
The good news is there will not be any budget “deadlocks” since there is no one to stand in the way of more taxes. And to Democrats “more taxes” is the answer to every question.
My only question is will they try to repeal Prop 13 as a whole, or do it in steps with businesses first?
States can do what they want. And they can pay the consequences. Unfortunately my mother still lives there and at her age is not likely to move so I have many fears for her money and her safety.
Marxism is evil.
Here’s a hint: the first thing he starts talking about is “education”, i.e. Feed those teacher’s unions even MORE money we don’t have!!! IMO If you live in CA, start packing, get a truck, and head East.
I know right? When is the last time Cali set the trend for anything political!
