Hawk, California politics is nothing like what you see elsewhere in the US. The Governor is a Republican, supports gay marriages and is pro choice. The first lady is a hardcore Democrat, whose uncle is Ted Kennedy. All the 15 cabinet members as well as Lt. Governor is a Democrat. Both houses of legislature 60% Democrat. What else. Oh yes in 2000 Presidential elections the networks announced at 8:03 pm (3 minutes after polls closed) that California went to Al Gore. What else. Oh yes, Californians voted a movie star for their Governor, because they wanted to have someone with a fresh approach to the State's problems. You think they will do the same for the White House in 2004?
