Admittedly, no Republican can get elected statewide in California anymore, but nor can what we think of as, nationally, the Democratic Party.

I think in politics, in Congress, you often do things that are Republican, or you do things because you're a Democrat. Sometimes that's good, obviously, and sometimes that's obviously bad. But in the news business, there's no such thing as Republican or Democratic news. News is news.
