Cacaphonies! Constitutional conventions! Terminators! California politics has never been more exciting

Now this:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger returned home from a White House visit on Wednesday to find the state dangerously broke, his constituents defiant after a special election on Tuesday and calls for a constitutional convention — six months ago little more than a wonkish whisper — a cacophony.

I wonder how the hell this works? What kind of a majority do you need to pass amendments at a constitutional convention? Will the Republican minority be able to block any changes? I will look around for some kind of California-politics-based blog, and get back to you...

(By the way--what a slap in the face to local media outlets that I'm getting all my CA news from the NYT...ah well..)
