Here goes our chance

The California recall was a unique chance for somebody outside the usual Democratic-Republican establishment to take the governor post in the largest US state. Many Californians are on the left in the political spectrum, but they don't like Democrats because of Gray Davis.

Too bad, people outside the system couldn't come with a single strong candidate who could exploit this "vulnerability" of the system. Ability to compromise and find alliances is more important in politics that in software development, and that's where they failed.

The race is now lead by a Republican (albeit a very extravagant one) and a Democrat. Too bad for Californians. WYGIWYD - what you get is what you deserve :-(

Although if I lived in California, I would probably vote for Georgy.
