Davis winning re-election was the best thing that could have happened to California Republicans. Simon's popularity probably wouldn't be much higher, given the task of presiding over a fiscal trainwreck.

You're right, the damage was already done. Dimbulb Davis will be unelectable in the future, because he won't be able to clean up the mess he made without raising taxes sky high.

Right on!

What frustrates me however Dog is that the real problem is within the legislature, a branch of government which is now almost immue to the will of "the people" because of the redistricting in 2001.

I blew my top when our stupid, ill organized, worthless, impotent, California, Republican leadership bought into the plan in an a short sighted, selfish, ill advised, plot to protect their few remaining RINO steats in the legislature.

Until the California election process can again be opened to moderation, the state will continue to harbor extreme ideologues in the legislature and the executive branch will be unable to make any sugnificant difference except to obstruct.

All roads lead to Rome or in this case all indications point to a collapse of the California economy, many months of finger pointing and blame and then redistricting that favors moderation.

Time will tell Dog.
