Newly elected Insurance Commissioner Dave Jones, a Democrat, is on the opposite end of the political spectrum from his predecessor, Republican Steve Poizner. But Jones would do well to emulate Poizner's approach to the office. When Poizner, a Silicon Valley entrepreneur, was elected commissioner in 2006, he promised to keep politics out of the job, which he thought should be nonpartisan. He made good on that promise overall, standing up for policy holders while trying to maintain a healthy insurance industry, also part of the job description.

California is on the verge of economic collapse. The Golden State was once the envy of America. Its prosperity and coastline beauty was a magnet for millions. Now, its government is broken; its major cities are infested with drugs, crime and massive illegal immigration; its economy is sclerotic; and businesses and middle- class households flee in record numbers. The crisis is an indictment of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. The "Governator," as he is known, promised to revive economic growth and job creation, slash taxes and regulations, and curb government spending and the power of the public-employee unions. The very opposite has happened. California's budget has expanded 40 percent since his predecessor, former Gov. Gray Davis, held office. Income, car and sales taxes have risen.
NEW presidents habitually - and often mistakenly - try to do the exact opposite of what their predecessor did. But after George Bush's record as "the Great Polarizer," President-elect Barack Obama definitely should seek to be "the Great Unifier." Just by getting elected as our first African-American president, he's gone a long way toward healing the country's ugliest historical division. Obama's victory speech in Chicago's Grant Park Tuesday night was the capstone of a campaign built around the theme of ending partisan and ideological rifts in the nation, too. But while he may believe, as he said, that "in this country, we rise or fall as one nation, as one people," other people - starting with members of his own party - will have to agree to "resist the temptation to fall back on the s...

LOS ANGELES -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is so much the opposite of his predecessor, the late Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, that it is a historical oddity that their names are being linked in California these days. Brown was a convert from the Republican Party, a career politician who sparked a great and enduring Democratic upsurge when he won the first of his two terms in 1958. Schwarzenegger is the GOP in-law of the Kennedy clan, a show biz celebrity who jumped into politics at the top by defeating Democratic Gov. Gray Davis in the recall election a little over a year ago.

THE SEARCH for an Obama Doctrine that unites and motivates his foreign policy hasn't turned up much. The administration itself is dismissive of the idea of grand strategy, stating a preference for flexibility over coherence. Supporters praise Barack Obama's subtlety and nuance, invariably contrasting them to the simplistic certainties of George W. Bush. Obama's fogginess, in this view, conceals an admirable realism. But Occam's razor - the superiority of the simplest explanation - applies even in foreign affairs. As a candidate, Obama defined his approach as the opposite of everything Bush. Whatever the issue, Obama would be the photographic negative. But as president, Obama's foreign policy has been slowly evolving toward the views of his predecessor. Obama's pride will not allow him t...
