The People's Governor.

[Nachum]

I have lost all confidence in Ahhnuld. You are finished in California.

Tom McClintock for Governor.

Send Ahhnuld back to Hollywood.

Seems like a slanted article, did the money go to special campaigns?

[lilylangtree]

And all this talk about changing the Constitution to permit the Gropinator to claim the presidency. Sheesh!

Marty Wilson, an adviser to Schwarzenegger who oversees his fund-raising efforts, said the governor raised so much money .. because he needed to pass a deficit-recovery bond and spending cap on the March ballot and then finance a possible ballot measure on workers' compensation that helped prod the Legislature into passing a reform package.

Yeah, right. That workman's comp "reform package" was a cynical joke compared to what was on the ballot initiative. The "spending cap" was actually designed to allow the legislature to borrow into perpetuity without going to the voters.

[untrained skeptic]

The question is are they donating because he supports thier goals, or is he supporting their goals because they donate?

Maybe businesses in California are happy that they have a Governor that doesn't impede their business with political pandering to junk science and over regulation.

[dangus]

Let's see if he uses any of that money to help elect Republicans to the legislature so he can get his programs through.
