I think Ca and Kansas pretty much highlight the two parties

I wish the media would focus on how much Ca has turned around our state now that we have a super majority of dems and how much Kansas has gone downhill with a tea party state of mind

Until California fixes the housing disaster, it will not get the credit it deserves.

The same groups that funnels cash into GOP Paks and endorses Republican policies that cut their taxes and block increases in the minimum wage, give a wink and a nod to cheap illegal and imported labor, and do nothing to sew up generous tax loopholes or special perks for the rich and infamous?

If you read all the political hype, unlike our leftist bastion of California, Kansas is great for corporations.
