The “two best” primary system was a baby born by Republican Maldonado, Bob, in exchange for his, “yes” vote on the 2009 tax increases. The legislature put it on the ballot, and the voters approved it. In the future, be careful what you wish for.

How can the GOP revive? The whole purpose of the new “two best” voting system is to push Republicans off the ballot entirely. The voters can’t put the GOP in power if there are no Republicans on the ballot to vote for.

Robert….how depressing….sun came up today…no Mayans in short palm fronds or bones in their noses at Albertsons this morning….

Get a life….or you’ll end up like Donkey, Dys, Poodle, Hondo chanting doomer songs about their ancestor trolls under the bridge.

Past performance is the best indicator of future behavior. There is no reason to expect that a state government now free to tax and spend as necessary will do less of it. We were once the fifth economy of the world, now we are the ninth and dropping. Forget the rich leaving the state, it is the middle class burdened by ever increasing taxes and wacky new age regulations whose rear running lights you will see heading away from the Golden State. Yes, in time a super-majority emboldened by special interest groups and an electorate hungry for more entitlements will bring this great state to the point of collapse and maybe reverse the trend. The damage will be done. As with the Federal government, there comes a tipping point where the entitled class will out number those who supply the tax base. Change through elections cannot happen in this environment. It can only happen in the presence of pain as a result of bad decisions. We can hope for the best, but like our country CA must endure the spending hangover that is sure to come. Only then will the adults in this state seek change.
