Yep, I'm calling it for Moonbeam. Wealth and connections notwithstanding, and even if she were to manage to buy the governors seat, there's no way Meg Whitman can conceivably adopt imperial airs with the Democrat California legislature, though she might have fun trying. But Moonbeam, he can get things done simply through consensus. In fact, that's probably why he was destined to win this thing from the start. There are a lot of people in California that hold a certain nostalgia for the Brown era, and legacy. There's probably still a few people that even remember his father, who ran both as a Democrat and a Republican-at the same time-and increased the states water supply and resources. Now that's the kind of thing only an emperor can do.
That's not to say everything an emperor does will always be the right thing, of course, but when you're dealing with the problems on the magnitude of those that beset California, it takes an emperor, with an emperors power and influence, to get things done, whether its the right thing or not. And evidently, that's really what the people of California really want, someone to tell them what to do in a way that doesn't rock the boat.
The kind of ruler with a steel resolve and steady hand, with which to guide the ship of state on its journey, all the way to the bottom of the sea.
