All the more reason we need to one day have Governor Tom McClintock.
I've been visiting alot of state and local Republican Party sites the last couple weeks and reading various commentaries during those visits. One theme appeared constant, but far from the truth.
As though to shore up support for Governor Schwarzenegger, they are portraying the special election that brought Arnold Schwarzenegger to the governorship as Californians upset over the budget at the time. Nothing could be further from the truth. The voters threw out Governor Grey Davis in the special election because they were extremely angry over the energy crisis we were experiencing. If it were budgetary matters that energized voters, this year's special election would be an easy election to win passage of the budgetary measures up for vote. It's not easy. It's a real battle able to go either way.
Amen. Because Tom currently is running "only" for LT. Gov., it's my hope that Arnold will get re-elected, that Tom will get elected, and that, shortly afterwards, Arnold will retire to private life, proudly putting Tom in the governor's seat. Arnold is probably a little better than Davis (esp. in appointing more non-leftist judges and such), but Tom SURELY will be better.
