The good news for California is that Repubs picked up 2-3 House seats and passed a referendum in favor of a non-partisan redistricting commission.

The great news for California is that the newly elected Republican House majority elected by the rest of the country is unlikely to provide a federal bailout of California's massive debt. Maybe the voters will wake up and finally save the state when bankruptcy reduces the influence of the public employee unions.

Tough state for conservatives if a dead dem still wins.

"California Democrat Jenny Oropeza won re-election Tuesday to the State Senate by a comfortable margin over her Republican challenger - the only problem is, Oropeza died last month.

How big was her victory? Oropeza actually beat her GOP opponent, John Stammreich, 58% to 36%.

Oropeza, 53, died on October 20 of complications from a blood clot that first developed in May."

And the budget proposition thing passed, so hopefully there will be less bribes (I mean pork) in the budget, since they only have to get to a 50% versus 66%. We'll see if it overall ends up being a good thing.

I voted against switching to a simple majority. It just means the politicians won’t have to make any tough decisions. The only thing that can save CA now is bankruptcy. :ohno:

First, I'd like to thank Appa for thinking of me in my waning days. :grizo2:

But, here's the scoop on CA.

With 19 states' legislatures switching from Dem to Rep control, as well as a net gain of 2 governorships, the redistricting over the next two years will SOLIDLY entrench Rep House control for at least the next 6 years and most likely for the next decade. Given CA's total Donk immersion, the House would be foolish to NOT utilize this opportunity to decimate CA's budgeting share well into the foreseeable future.
CA's share of grants, Fed funding for infrastructure projects, social and education programs...the list goes on and on...will be at the mercy of the Conks on the hill...

...for years.

Things are simply horrible out here after two decades of a Dem controlled legislature...

...every day I hear several stories from businesses and people (professionals too) going bankrupt. NOBODY from CA's working class has been untouched by our state's economic collapse...

...and now, we have a mentally unstable Union puppet for Governor.

The only optimism I hold is that CA's demise can be used as an example for other state's whose citizens are contemplating a dive into the Dem-a-goguery Kool Aid.

The citizens here in CA chose to ignore the national voice of reason, so they've earned what's coming.

Pavement's "Unfair"

down in Santa Rosa over the bay
across the grapevine to L.A.
we've got desert, we've got trees
we've got the hills of Beverly
let's burn the hills of Beverly!!

walk with your credit card in the air!!
swing your nachos just like you just don't care!!
this is the slow sick sucking part of me
this is the slow sick sucking part of me
and when i suck in kisses, it's ours...

up to the top of the shasta gulch
and to the bottom of the tahoe lakes
manmade deltas and concrete rivers
the south takes what the north delivers
you film hack, i don't use your...fade...

lost in the foothills of my pride
Trocadero, say good night
to the LAST PSYCHEDELIC BAND
FROM sac' to, northern cal.
