I'm John Batchel with my colleague, Jeff Bliss.

We're going to Sacramento.

We're going to say, hey, what's the deal here?

Baywatch.

You want to make sure that that shoots on Venice Beach.

But there's a problem.

We're not sure who's in the governor's office.

Jeff, jungle the primary.

What is the problem here in California?

You're a blue state.

The Democrats have a deep bench. Why are they

anxious? Well, John, the jungle primary, it's not unique to California, but we've certainly made

the worst of it. And what you do is you take the two top people in the primary, regardless of

the party, and then you run them in the final general election.

And, you know, this was engineered by Blue State folks several years ago, but they're paying the price right now because their field is so large and so diluted that they're splitting up the votes between all the Democratic folks.

What that's doing is it's helping to push

the two top Republicans up to the top. And it's taking people like Congresswoman Katie Porter,

who people have known for years and throwing her way down near the bottom. She's not going to

stand a chance it looks like. Or Tony Villarigosa, who is the mayor of L.A. and a former congressman, and I think he was

the head of the California Assembly, these people are dropping off the map because they just aren't going to make it in a jungle primary. It's causing a lot of heartache. And now you have places like the L.A. Times coming forward and saying, oh, we need to get rid of this. Of course, they never said anything about it when the Democrats are doing well. But now that two Republicans,

Steve Hilton and the, I'm sorry, I can't remember

the mayor, the sheriff of San Bernardino, Riverside, they're the ones that are at the top.
