Posted by FYBklyn1959 on Fri Dec 4 22:58:15 2020, in response to Re: ibm's magnum opus, posted by pragmatist on Fri Dec 4 14:51:29 2020. Yep, I arrived in September 1976, about halfway through Brown's first term, was there for his 2nd term, 8 years of Deukmejian, and a few months shy of Wilson's 2 terms. Then I moved to Florida, who had had 3 governors since the Civil War (or maybe Reconsrtuction, anyway a long-ass time). The incumbent when I arrived (Lawton Chiles) was a D, but he was term-limited. So that November, Jeb Bush defeated Lt. Gov Buddy McKay and there have only been Republican governors since (Bush 8 years, Crist* 4 years, Scott 8 years and now almost 2 years in for DeSantis).*Crist served the one term, then decided to run for the US Senate. Alas, he lost the Republican primary to Marco Rubio. So he decides to run as an independent, and probably siphoned off enough votes from the Democrat nominee (Congressman Kendrick Meek) to allow Rubio to win. Meanwhile, Crist changes to D and gets the nomination to oppose Scott in 2014, and of course lost. We all know how Olog complains about RINOs, this was one of the few times that he was absolutely right. So I got from 16 straight years (actually 15, as the streak began at the beginning of 1983) of R Governors in CA, to 22 more in FL. meanwhile, in the fall of 1998, Gray Davis, a D, becomes Governor of CA. Reelected in 2002, then recalled in 2003 (If something happened so aggregious that he was recalled in 2003, why the fuck was he reelected in 2002? Californians 🙄 So Ah-nold wins the election to replace Davis, then reelected in 2006, then starting in 2010, Jerry Brown 2.0 (which was a huge comedown from Jerry Brown 1.0 that I experienced for 6 years, probably because this time he wasn't fucking Linda Ronstadt). And now the current idiot Newsome. California sucks. |
