Hey, wait a minute! I live here! ;)
It's not that bad really. Hillary is so focussed on her megalomanical plans she really doesn't have much attention to spare for purposes of screwing up the state. Our other senator is just a follower, without an original idea in his head.
The governor is a Republican (I know, I know, a "rino" to most of you out in the red zone, but if you had lived under Mario for 12 years, you'd count your blessings believe me) and all our local politics is Republican and fairly conservative at that (we're talking Upstate NY here).
No pity required. Pity the Freepers of California. They've got problems.
