Checking in on predictions

You may recall that almost a year ago, I appeared on a panel where I debated some Republicans about their election prospects here in California. Hm. Let’s see how I did as Nostradamus, versus how they did. Right. Thought so.

One of my observations back then, re Meg Whitman:  “If you can’t work your own press event, how well are you going to do when Jerry Brown shows up and asks you real questions? That’s a debate I’m looking forward to watching.” I think we’ve seen how well Whitman handled all of that, and yes, the debates were thoroughly enjoyable.

    Doesn’t matter which nutbag is elected; Caliphonyia still can’t pay it’s own way. Why can’t Jerry Brown be dead and Christopher Lee alive?

    The proud holder of the worst deficit in the nation is that model of red-state governance Texas. http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-hiltzik-20110209,0,573520.column

    Re Jerry Brown — he didn’t create this deficit. That snowball started to roll with Arnold cutting $4 billion a year in car registrations. Multiply it by his years his office and you’ve got most of it.
