 I think I'm most surprised at the degree to which people are pessimistic about education and the extent to which they lack confidence and trust in state government in general. This is one of the reasons -- at the state level at least -- that people are reluctant to raise their own taxes. |
| I think it is significant. His numbers have been steady during a time when Californians were disappointed over the lack of agreement on the infrastructure bond. |
| It has huge implications for how campaigns are going to operate if 40 percent of voters are going to make up their minds before the media blitz that occurs right before an election. |
| It speaks to the fact that whether you're controller or treasurer, if you've been there since 1998 or 2002, you won't be very well-known on the statewide stage. |
| It's an unfortunate irony that state leaders were unable to reconcile their differences, while voters - who are often deeply split along partisan lines - were very much in agreement. This was an opportunity to give the public something it collectively wanted. |
| It's reasonably good news for the governor on a number of levels. It seems many Californians continue to be pulling for the governor. |
| It's very easy to point the finger at the Legislature and the governor, but ultimately, they're taking their cues from the voters. |
| None of the propositions favored by the governor's administration are inspiring much passion or enthusiasm among voters. With little connecting them to this election, support for the entire enterprise is low. |
| None of the propositions favored by the governor's administration are inspiring much passion, |

| The challenge for him this time is really twofold: first of all, he's got very strong disapproval ratings among the voters, who are opposing his measures, particularly Democrats, and secondly, there is a very substantial amount of money that is being spent on the 'no' side. |
| The Democrats and their allies have been very successful this year in painting a different picture of the governor -- a partisan figure who has his own group of special interests. He has to find a way to win back the trust, which he's lost ... but he hasn't done things to help himself much. |
| The favorable response to the infrastructure plan, even at this stage, is an auspicious sign. The question is whether the governor has, or will have, the political clout to see this grand ambition through. |
| The frustration is coming from across the political spectrum and ethnic groups. There's a strong belief that some schools are doing very well and some are doing very poorly, and the broad consensus is that that's not an acceptable system. |
| The governor has a big challenge ahead of him. |
