But seriously, you get the politicians you deserve. If you think a good and bad terminator and a re-run of Governor Moonbeam will help your 12.4% unemployment rate, serious debt problem because of out of control spending, high taxes, illegal alien haven, unions sucking you dry and intrusive government just keep doing what your doing.
Its funny you listen to the loons from California and you would get the impression that their economy is no worse than any other state. I think most of them live in another state........the state of denial!

LOL, looks like that was short lived.

"The latest Rasmussen Reports statewide telephone survey of Likely Voters shows Boxer picking up 48% of the vote, while Fiorina draws support from 46%. Three percent (3%) prefer some other candidate, and three percent (3%) are undecided. (To see survey question wording, click here.)
The race remains a Toss-Up in the Rasmussen Reports Election 2010 Senate Balance of Power rankings."

See above, the poll you reference was taken before the Rasmussen poll. The Rasmussen poll gauges the most recent voter preference.

What a weak comeback, but since you're taking the low-rent route, I'll respond by saying that it must suck to know that the best-educated cities and states generally vote for Democrats. Durham is heavily Democratic.

Also, I can assure you that the vast majority of people in San Francisco and L.A. aren't wishing that they could live in Durham, North Carolina, but I bet a lot of people in Durham wish they lived in San Francisco or L.A.
