CA: Public financing passes Assembly (with POLL!)

Well, casually researching state politics I stumbled upon this:
On January 30, the California Assembly voted, by a vote of 47-31, for public financing of elections in California. The vote was mostly partisan, with 47 of the Assembly's 48 Democrats voting "aye" (one, Tom Umberg of Anaheim, joined all 30 Republicans who voted in voting "no"). Two Republicans did not vote.
The bill, Assembly Bill 53, still has to be voted on by the State Senate, but since the Senate is also dominated by Democrats I expect it to pass. My thoughts below the fold...
