In California, as elsewhere, liberals are angry at the perceived rightward drift of the Democratic Party. They're tired of compromise, sick of moderate politics--even if it won them power in the '90s. They want their party to stand for untrammeled liberalism once again. Sounds good to me! (Texas versus California is really the big split in twenty-first century America, much more important than the petty squabbles of postage-stamp eastern states). Yup. Clearly the tectonic plates were already shifting. GOP candidates also did better in 2002's legislative elections than expected. Only the state's remarkably partisan redistricting, and a lack of money, prevented more gains. Yup. the first coin-operated governor Yup. Schwarzenegger can't do too much damage with a Democratic legislature If the legislature doesn't get the message, it'll get it's walking papers in '04. The Republican claim earlier this year that they could close a $38 billion budget gap with no new revenues and without heavy borrowing, when more than two-thirds of all spending is fixed by federal and state mandates, is fiscal mendacity beyond what even George W.
