California is Still a Blue State With Democrats taking back the House (and possibly the Senate) and talk of a “renewed” national Democratic Party, it was embarrassing for California – one of the most reliably blue states – to re-elect Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger by a 17-point margin. Expect the media, especially the Chronicle, to follow up in the next few days with puff pieces about how Arnold was able to buck the national trend.

Time to change the system 
"Even though the League of Women Voters claims to be non-partisan, the reality is that they are mostly comprised of Democrats. Did they exclude Peter Camejo, knowing that their candidate, Phil Angelides, is a weak candidate, and many Democrats would find Camejo, who is intelligent, charismatic, and truly progressive, very appealing?"
Martensen points out that excluding third party candidates from debates is censorship, and that the the Republican and Democratic Parties are not really inter...
