California’s crazy “jungle” primary elections came to a blessed end on Tuesday.I lost count, but I think there were 32 candidates running for U.S. Senate and 27 for governor.In my troubled blue state’s goofy primary system, the top two vote-getters in any given race - even if they are both Democrats or Socialists - get to face each other in the fall general election.Everyone east of the Sierra Nevada has heard by now that Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom, the ex-San Francisco mayor and 2020 Democratic presidential wannabe, won the most votes in the governor’s contest.But the big news -- the good news -- is that Republican multimillionaire businessman John Cox came in second.Cox won easily despite spending little money and getting almost zero major media attention other than from Fox News.Though Cox was endorsed by President Trump, about the only time his name was mentioned in the local media was when Newsom attacked him in one of his TV ads.My son Cameron, a stay-at-home dad with two young kids, sent me a text that summed up what was glaringly missing in the primary race.“Where is the governor that’s running to lower taxes?“Where’s the governor that’s running to lower the cost of health care? To lower gasoline prices. Or to make our communities safer or our schools better?“Everything is emotional,” he wrote.
