Well, just a couple notes:
* California's population and economy are comparable to those of major
European countries. California politics affect the California economy,
which affects people elsewhere in the world. (Remember that dot-com
thing?)
* Most of the registered candidates in this circus election are utterly
irrelevant and would not likely ever have interesting articles.
* By all means we should have informative, interesting articles on
regional and local politics.
