That's when I knew the poll was a steaming pile of bull$hit. Blunt is not a RINO like Ah-nold.

At what point do you hit the ejection button? At 0%? At -5%, -10%, -20%?

My guess is that California should have pulled the lever the day after the Austrian proposed the first, record, spending binge in January 2004.

Hopefully by the time the next survey is taken California will have remedied its popularity deficit by electing a conservative to lead them out of their fiscal wilderness.

I imagine that our GOP legislature is keeping him from doing any real damage, which also artificially keeps his numbers up. Without that, those of us in Delware, Chester, Montgomery, and Bucks counties would undoubtedly find ourselves paying the Philly wage tax (which Rendell has advocated before).

Boob Taft is as popular as a dose of the clap in my part of the great state of Ohio! How is a 18% approval rating possible? You really have to work hard to be that abysmal!

Is there any other explanation?

Yes.

When you repeatedly hit your hand with a hammer, it hurts.
When you stop, it feels good.

CT just finished with Lowell Weiker and the criminal RINO John Rowland. Jodi Rell basically has done nothing.

And it feels good.

"by electing a conservative to lead them out of their fiscal wilderness"

That ain't gonna happen, neither! I saw on TV tonight that Magic Johnson has come out and endorsed that tird Phil Angelides for Governer behind the "magic" theme of: "The 'Magic' of home ownership!"

He endorsed the big, evil, greedy developer that would pave over the prime ag lands of planet earth... The entire big valley of CA!!! The new "Inland Sea" of Roof top - to - roof top residential development inspired by Governor Angelides, one of CA's SUPER DEVELOPERS!!!

Not only is he the developer's candidate... He is THE GREAT GREEK DEVELOPER!!! (he's also a gleek plick!)

If you people think I've been poisoning the waters toward that phony Republican SchwartzenRenegger... Wait till ya see me go ta town on fallen AngelIdes!!! Oh baby... This is gonna git ta be phun!!!

Richard Cody (D), New Jersey, #20--56% 35%

He's not an elected official but someone that stood in for a criminal. And they replaced him with a bigger criminal. WTH is wrong with Jerseyites? Proof once again that liberalism is a mental illness.
