The promised Democratic “blue wave” was a mere low-tide ripple on Tuesday. Low voter enthusiasm and turnout for the Democratic candidates, coupled with a failure in anticipated Latino turnout to support certain candidates, and high voter dissatisfaction with the gas tax and quality of life concerns in California, led to a good day for Republicans, from John Cox on down. Democrats have taken California for granted, and what we learned Tuesday is that this was a mistake, and California will very much be in play in November.
