What an unpleasant way to start my morning — by discovering that every single one of the propositions championed by Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger has been defeated at the polls. This is a tremendous victory to big-money, big-union, status quo politics, and a big blow for common sense and honest democracy.
Unless something happens (but what?) to shock liberal Californians to their senses, I suspect we’re stuck with at least several more years of profoundly corrupt and ineffective local politics…
