pete wilson: prop 187, three strikes law, removed moratorium on death penalty
Pete Wilson also behind California electricity deregulation which allowed Enron, etc. to run amok. I'm also angry that his name is on my UC graduation diploma.
Deukmejian might be third by default.

Governor Pat Brown: Well, let me just tell you this—
President Kennedy: I’ll tell you this—you just reduced him to the nut house.
Brown: Listen: you gave me instructions and I follow your orders! (Unclear.)
President Kennedy: (chuckling) I understand. But God, that last farewell speech of his...
Brown: Wasn’t that terrible?
President Kennedy: Well, no, but it shows...(Needle skips.) What’s going to happen out there?
Brown: I don’t see how he can ever recover. (He lost) the leaders.
President Kennedy: Yeah.
Brown: (Former senator) Goodwin Knight walked out on him; (California conservative leader) Joe Shell told me he walked out on him. This is a peculiar fellow. I really think he’s psychotic. He’s an able man, but he’s nuts.
Brown: Like a lot of these paranoics.

Man became president by serving on the board of Pepsi-Cola all those years. Hell, as governor, he may have leveled Watts and been elected with a majority of the popular vote.
