The CA voter decided that 12.4% unemployment was not an issue and voted for Brown and Boxer. The Nevadans decided 14.6% unemployment was not a problem and elected Reid again.

Dumb and dumber.

But the CA voters take the cake. They vote down the Prop which would enhance and support the state's park system and then vote for the Arnold GW Prop. It makes no sense except that one Prop(Parks) was presented as an $18 annual cost to the voter for their Yes vote. The other was essentially was mistakenly cast as an anti-pollution Prop to vote on even though it will be ultimately cost the CA resident big time.

The best news this morning was that our local college who spent 1.3m on glossy flyers, consultants and retired politicians to promote their Prop which was designed to give them absolute autonomy and freedom from city zoning rules for any and all decisions regarding construction, traffic and overall impact on the local residents went down. The negative impact on the local community was seen as huge. Most of their expansion plans had already been approved by the City.

The citizens gathered 40K, posted signs and wrote letters to local papers on why they oppose the college's "end around' city law.

I'll say it again. Whitman and Fiorina lost because they were fearful of taking on the illegal issue and opposed
Governor Brewer's AZ decision. Unfortunate.

Governor Christie has shown the republicans an election model which works. Now, the question is: Will the Karl Roves' et.al. think it an approach worth using? Because it is clearly different(and superior to) Compassionate Conservative.
