It is sad to see how little attention is paid to California
in presidential elections, despite our sheer economic size and number of
electoral votes. While a young man in college I joined the group Sacramento for
Kerry while attending Sac State. At the group’s first meeting it was admitted
that Kerry would be campaigning very little to none in our state because it was
solid blue and Presidential contenders see us as an ATM for campaign donations.
This is all still going to remain true but Marco Rubio at
least mentioned the drought during the second GOP debate tonight. There is
still virtually no way a conservative is going to win California but we should
at least hold the democratic nominees to higher standard in regards to our
problems.
The drought in California is not just a local issue if you
consider we are the 7th largest economy and bread basket of the
world. If the issue of the twin tunnel project made into a Democratic debate it
could divide the state.
