California...a very abnormal state where our Democrats act more like Republicans....our best governors have been Republicans because they acted more like Democrats.

Also California is not nearly as liberal as it is portrayed to be...if it was a smaller state with the same demographics, it would be passed by.

To be honest, I dont know anything about California nore it`s current economic and overall situation. Generaly I thought it would be well of, which might be a cliche.

To you have a link to a page explaining it`s situation?

California's economic troubles began under Gray Davis (he was removed from office....California went from a Clinton-like governor to well failure).

To be honest, I had just assumed Governor Brown was a Republican based on how much of a crooked scumbag he was...I was furious when I found out a Democrat could be such a dick.
