It looks like I’m going to spend yet another four years living under the yoke of a Republican governor. In the last decade I’ve lived in a toss up state, and two of the bluest of the blue states. I haven’t lived under a Democratic governor since Lawton Chiles’ second term* ended with JEB!’s election. You know it’s bad for the Democrats when their candidate is even losing in the bay area. Recent polls of the bay area put Schwarzenegger up anywhere from four to eight points.
I have other thoughts and theories on this state’s elections, but since I’ve lived here less than a month, I’m not going to put any of that speculation on the record. Hopefully, by the next election, I’ll know enough about this state’s politics to make public pronouncements about them. I will share my thoughts after the results are in, though. One nice thing about being on pacific time is that I’ll start seeing results shortly after 4:00pm and have a good picture of how things are going by 5:00 or 6:00.
