Already Failed Governor

California has experienced good, bad, and indifferent governance over the last half century. The Golden State was fortunate enough to select Ronald Wilson Reagan as leader before he ascended to the higher Presidential stage. Pete Wilson was capable enough and during his tenure the state did not drown in debt or break off the continent and sink into the Pacific Ocean. Gray Davis was so exquisitely inept, California's electorate removed him from office early rather than allowing him to finish off the state by concluding his term. Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced the recalled Democrat Davis and has fought a mostly unsuccessful holding action to save the formerly Golden State. The Governator put up an early fight before succumbing to public employee unions and after showing his fecklessness, suddenly discovering his latent socialist tendencies and embracing his inner Kennedy (if Arnold was not born to the blood, he certainly contracted a bad case of liberalism perhaps through osmosis from Maria Shriver). Not far behind Davis in crashing a once great state though was Jerry Brown- with his pie in the sky progressiveism, savvy voters did not call him Governor "Moonbeam" for nothing. Yet Jerry Brown is purportedly about tied in the polls with a fantastic and capable businesswoman also seeking to serve as that state's governor Meg Whitman. Ms. Whitman's acumen helped turn eBay from a small almost unknown Internet auction company into one of the web's powerhouses. Whitman is certainly not the kind of conservative firebrand that I would prefer but I do not reside in California, and Meg Whitman's moderate position on social issues and immigration may appeal to the centrist voters who do live there. I can not imagine why Californians would afford another big spending, social radical to further damage the state. Preserve your own sanity, vote Meg Whitman.
