I forgot that I was thinking about this all week. Today is 45 days before the November 7 election. Yes, it’s a midterm election, but here in California we’re electing (or re-electing) a governor, a lieutenant governor, secretary of state, controller, treasurer, attorney general, insurance commissioner, and members of the state board of equalization, the last of which I honestly don’t have any clue what they do (all position links PDF). There are also 13 statewide propositions and a number of local measures and offices up for grabs. Obviously, the fervor isn’t as great as for an election year and even the governor’s race seems a little muted. I actually think compared to the Angelides-Westly kerfuffle, the Angelides-Schwarzenegger race is somehow less exciting. Arnold’s making deals with the Dems in the state legislature and I don’t think Angelides is getting the visibility he needs to win (or look like he’d be interested in winning). Perhaps, I just need to tune in - but I’m gonna need a push.
