Mark Steyn on Gray Davis and California. (via Instapundit). Worth quoting:

.. there's plenty of statistical evidence to suggest that if you sliced off California and floated it out into the Pacific there'd be no "Bush recession" at all. Shorn of LaLaLand, in May America would actually have seen a net gain in employment - an extra 4,500 jobs - but then the monthly figures from California came in - another 21,500 layoffs -and drove the national figure down again.
