California Snubs Republican Landslide
California’s rejection of the Republican tidal wave is complete . After three weeks of counting, San Francisco District Attorney Kamala Harris has emerged the victor in the state’s attorney general race. She is the first woman to have the job, and her ascension, along with former Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown and current San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, gives the state government a decidedly Bay Area flavor. Can SoCal get a little love, please? Billionaire Republican Meg Whitman failed to take over the governor’s mansion and former HP CEO Carly Fiorina couldn’t dislodge Sen. Barbara Boxer from office. Therefore in major contests Californians just said no to the GOP, who, as you might have heard, did pretty well everywhere else. Harris was running against Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, who, though he ran as a Republican, considers himself a nonpartisan and was endorsed as such by the L.A. Times, lest we get too carried away.
