While "60 Minutes" reveled in bashing G.W. Bush for his membership in Yale's "Skull & Bones"... they seem equally happy to NOT mention Cruz Bustamante's association with MECHA.
Imagine my surprise.

I think, the higher the Turnout, the Worse it is for Davis.
(Think.....TRIPLING THE CAR TAX.....)
That affects every person in the state just about.
And considering it is a One Payment deal, it is horribly regressive and sure to piss off folks that dont have a thousand dollars to fork over to the state.......
That is the one note, that Arnold needed to sound far more often than he did.
We would not even be talking possibilities, if they had been driving that point a little harder.

The contiguous attacks on President Bush (the PlameNameBlameGame), Arnold Schwartzenegger, and Rush Limbaugh this October makes me wonder what they are cooking up for next October, when we are a month away from the BIG election.
