Ahnult weighs out (according to CNN on air, nothing on web yet), Jon Carroll weighs in:

But generalizations about California roll off the backs of East Coast journalists like oil off a chrome fender. I remember one rather famous writer who came to California, stayed in the Beverly Hills Hotel for three days and concluded that all Californians were stupid, narcissistic and in the movie business.

[A lovely paragraph which invites "Two outta t'ree ain't bad" jokes.]

and, more seriously:

If the electorate is able to change its mind any time it feels distressed, the tedious business of governing will get entirely lost in partisan arguments.

Term limits are bad enough; let's not have government by mood ring.

and (more seriously still?):

Thank God there are no nutballs like Darrell Issa in the Bush administration.
