I'm no Davis fan, but I swear if Arnold Swartz-his-face gets elected governor of my state, I might as well never read a newspaper again for at least 4 years.

Have we no pride left, my fellow Californians?

Hm. Well, in the early 90s I was in elementry school. No wonder I didn't know the name. Thanks for the update.

You know, I read an interesting graph in my political science text book (a 2002 book) that showed by percentages how the voting of delegates of certain topics differed from the opinions of their costituents of the same party, on the same subject. The graphshowed both parties, and it was enlightening to see how what you thought your guys were voting for differes from how they actually vote.

For instance... ::rummages through book until page found::

this says that in 2000 the percentage of republican voters who felt the government shoudl do more to regulate the environmental and safety practices of businesses was 37 %, where as the percentage of their elected delegates was 8%.

Also, for favoring child safety locks on guns it was 76% of rep. voters and only 48% delegates.
