Tell me, Alia, since it seems so "very, very clear" to you... Precisely what does "bipartisan cooperation" mean to you in CA's historical context?
He will be moving to the left under the guise of bipartisanship. Maria will be playing a bigger role. The "Big 5" will be collaborating to advance the political class and collectively help heal each others wounds, not to solve the problems of California. He has grand visions of spending huge somes of money (see quotes: "we need more..."). And he still thinks California politics is all about him (see quotes: "make you proud of me", "negative ads about me", etc.)
Maria is already planning the further infiltration of of the Capitol by her Democratic colleagues. [See: CA: Special Election Defeat May Prompt Administration Upheaval ]. A recent view of who is funding Arnold's 2006 campaign, thus far, also shows numerous contributions pouring in from historically Democratic powerhouses like the law firm of Manatt, Phelps, and Phillips. The message of the Recall election seems to be forgotten, imo.

"bi-partisan cooperation". Hmm... I think you'd like to answer that question for me, Sierra Wasp. ;> Have fun.
