Holy moly Bob Taft at 17%, I don't live in Ohio what has Taft done to earn that approval rating?

Tax increases every 2 years to pay for spending increases of 7 to 11 percent per year
Blocked concealled carry for 5 years
Got indicted
Let his cronies lose all kinds of Workers Comp money

I could go on.

If Ah-nold doesn't do well in Cal-i-foh-ni-ah, we'll take him in Virginia. We need a governor with some smarts and some stones.

[Gipper08]

He said he "absolutely" will not.

[FOG724]

The Terminator will never get a good approval rate from the mostly liberal/socialistic/communistic stae of Kalifornia!

You are reading the situation totally wrong. He has been catering to the Dems and so his numbers drop. Out of staters just don't understand how conservative this state can be.

[FOG724]

We need a governor with some smarts and some stones.

And you think that is Arnold? You have got to be joking. He has shown he has no stones at all and that is not smart!

Matt Blunt MO
Giving the bitter medicine of "there ain't no free lunch"

Cutting programs, 100,000 out of 1,000,000 Misourians cut from state programs.

Roads getting repaved and repaired. Refusing to raise taxes.

Keep up the good work.

[tgusa]

We'll give you Mark Warner, $500 and a future draft pick for the governator.

[NeoCaveman]

Or Dems who are pretty happy with Taxt's tax increases and general embarrassment of the Republican party.

Who approves of Bob Taft? By the poll numbers:
25% of Republicans 13% of Democrats 14% of Independents

My guess is this is what you do when you gain the center, you lose the Right and the Left hates you for having an (R) after your name.

Poor Arnold!

Hey, we Californians made it all the way up to number 48! Now, is that better or worse than our education rating? Ha!

[msnimje]

He said he "absolutely" will not.

Too bad, I would have liked to see how he did in the Primaries. I am in Georgia and hear lots of good things about him.

[Danae]

Great post!!!
Thanks for the info and the links! I hope it wasn't as much work as it seems to be!!!

Barring something unforeseen, Gov. Rounds could run for any SD office and take it easily. He's very popular here.

[FOG724]

We'll give you Mark Warner, $500 and a future draft pick for the governator.

It's got to be better than a member of the Green party with an R behind his name.

[FOG724]

Hey, we Californians made it all the way up to number 48! Now, is that better or worse than our education rating? Ha!

Chuckling.

I find Joe Manchin's situation intersting...WV is culturally red but politically blue thanks to the teachers and labor unions...but Manchin seems to be an anti-tax, pro-business Democrat.

[tgusa]

Ah, Warner's not a Green. In fact I don't think he knows what he is, other than Gov of Virginia. All I know is he wheedled and whined about the state being broke until enough Republicans believed him to pass his proposed tax increase. Then, about 3 weeks later, it comes out that Virginia will realize about a $900 million SURPLUS in the year it's supposedly broke. Sheesh.

[tgusa]

Oh, maybe I mis-read you, sorry.

[FOG724]

Ah, Warner's not a Green.

Arnold is though. I meant we have a Green with an R behind his name.

[tgusa]

I got it, sorry.

[FOG724]

Arnold has cut up the credit cards by running up debt no Dem could have dreamed of. He has socialized one fifth of our state and appointed nothing but lefties and enviros to key positions.
