From The Daily Press:
The California Republican Party has sunk to such lows in terms of political influence that even liberal newspaper editorial pages are bemoaning the party’s irrelevancy. As the San Francisco Chronicle opined recently, “Democrats have an interest in seeing new blood in the old California Republican Party. One-party rule is not good for any government, as San Francisco City Hall repeatedly demonstrates.”
Clearly, it’s in everyone’s interest to see a vibrant two-party system in the largest of the 50 states, which should have a political arena where ideas can at least be debated and where there’s at least some pushback to Democratic policies, which typically involve expanding the size and scope of government.
