Unlike President Obama, who picked schools from two states he didn't win in 2008 (Kansas and Kentucky) to reach the NCAA basketball finals, GOP gubernatorial candidate Steve Poizner couldn't resist the opportunity to pander when filling out his bracket.

Poizner's choices, distributed by the campaign today, predict that Cal will win the national championship and that San Diego State and St. Mary's will advance to the Elite Eight. For good measure, he picks UC Santa Barbara to join those schools as the fifth California team to make it to the Sweet Sixteen.

Seriously, Steve?

95 percent accurate
Over the last 25 presidential elections, Ventura County voters have backed the winner 24 times, or over 95 percent of the time. It is one of only a handful of counties in the nation that has been such a predictable bellwether.
