1. Yes, thanks to my fellow Californians!

I'm proud of you!

[slackmaster]

2. Yet we also managed to vote down pretty much every tax increase in the state

We are a mixed bag.

3. True. :( nt

[taught_me_patience]

4. Thank god

I don't see how we can raise taxes much higher than they already are.

14. We had a chance to take back $1.3 billion in corporate tax breaks

but blew it by voting down Prop 24. :(

19. The T Word does weird things to some people's minds, it seems.. nt

25. Not to mention the legalization

of a friendly herb. That would have solved some tax problems, as most everybody in America who is friendly with that herb would have found a way to get to CA to buy some.

5. na

complete victory would have been legal cannabis and no to prop 26. Now, big tobacco and big oil can avaoid any fee increases, and the state's budget gets even more structurally harder to fix

Jerry Brown has nothing to lose now-- he need to come out no holds barred in favor of legal cannabis in 2012 and start taking out 26 before it even gets legs so that it can be undone in 2012

20. CT, way to go! :) nt

9. And Prop 25 should go a long way to restore California's fiscal health...

and no longer be held hostage by a minority of Republicans in the state legislature. That will really help in the coming years!

[left coaster]

18. Absolutely! I hope this is a turning point for CA.. nt

[proud patriot]

10. I'm one thankful Californian

[AsahinaKimi]

11. Its so good to be a dem in California..its almost as good

As the Giants winning the World Series!

[Initech]

12. I'm so happy the next six years I won't have to say Governor Whitman.

:woohoo: :toast:

[nadinbrzezinski]

15. Four, you mean four

and Senator Fiorina.

:-)

[Initech]

23. D'oh!

[marmar]

16. Gubernatorial terms in CA are 6 years?

[cascadiance]

22. Having just moved to Oregon from California, I hope I don't have to say "Governor Dudley"!

That Dud can't be our governor. Hoping that the remaining uncounted votes here in Multnomah county are all swinging for Kitzhaber now.

Oregon's a great progressive state too, but has had a few flaws in this election. One of them still hopefully we can be rescued with in the governor's race. Another is throwing out public campaign financing in the city of Portland, which is a big bummer too!

[bigwillq]

13. K and R

:bounce:

[political_Dem]

24. The torture is over!!!!!' ;D

[Cleita]

26. Let's hope we have eight years of Governor Brown.

I am so ready for it and then I can die happy.
