Gavin Newsom was supposed to
give his State of the State speech today. He chickened out and stalled
off until some unspecified time in the future.
He
put a lot of his political capital behind Proposition 1 on the March
ballot. This was an attempt to spend a few billion dollars to improve
mental health care in the formerly great state of California. He pimped
it big time, and the organize opposition was scant and comparatively
poorly funded.
Despite all
that they are still counting the ballots and the outcome is too close to
call. He really wants to have a win to wave at the speech. A
combination of that, a much larger than admitted budget deficit and his
favored, poorly named High Speed Rail project sucking up more and more
and more money and promising less and less and less in return is putting
a serious wet blanket over his desperate attempts to replace Joe Biden
on the Democrat-Socialist ticket this year.
It
is hard to be taken seriously, even against a senile old liar, if the
only thing you truly have going for you is a really good haircut.
