He did a decent job in that he didn't drive California into the ground. I was living in L.A. at the time. People voted to re-elect him because "he hasn't been that bad" and Phil Angelides was a terrible candidate. I wouldn't say he was an exceptional governor. Mostly he just maintained the status quo. Which, from what I hear (I no longer live in California), is still better than Newsom.
Thanks for taking the time to give a local's insight, as a foreigner my point of view is limited!
A lot of people thought he did a great job. Probably because it's so easy to be governor of California and do a terrible job.
