California presidential primary to help reelect incumbents like Nunez and Peralta

The California legislature is trying to move the presidential primary in the state from June 3 to February 5, 2008. That ballot will have two propositions. The first is from Arnie Schwartzenegger and concerns redistricting; presumably it's similar to his earlier proposal.

The second would extend term limits for our wonderful incumbents and would do so before a March 2008 deadline, thus allowing people such as Senate President Pro Tem Don Perata and Assembly Speaker Fabian Nunez to continue their reigns.

Details here:

Essentially, California would have no real elections over the next four years, because we would have the same people running in the same districts where there is no competition.

UPDATE: For some unknown reason, I've thrice misspelled his name. It's Don Perata.
