Initiative fatigue

I can't help but wonder as Arnold's special election proves to be a phenomenal waste of time and taxpayer money if the people of California are finally getting tired of rule by initiative. It will be interesting to see how props perform next year when coupled with an actual campaign, but the general feel I get from folks I talked to is that everything will be a hard sell come 2006.

It would be nice to hear one of the Democratic candidates for Governor pledge to avoid the initiative process and actually governor the state rather than resort to these showy financial nightmares. I won't hold my breath.
