"This brouhaha will not hurt him in the long run," said Sherry Bebitch Jeffe, a political scientist at the University of Southern California.

I think Miss Bebitch Jeffe is right.

Governor Schwarzennegger is Governor to ALL Californians; not just Republicans or conservatives. Last election proved and made clear a number of issues, IMHO.

That being said -- There is no money in the world sufficient to have me wish to be in Susan Kennedy's position: A Dem and working with THIS Repub Governor. This is the wrench on her, not the other way around, IMHO.

"There are obviously understandable concerns given Susan's work prior to coming to the administration, and that makes it a good story," he said. "But my caution to Republicans that are talking about rather drastic measures (is) they are overreacting. They should judge the governor on how he governs, and that's all that matters."

Stutzman is right.

Several Republicans said they are watching for signs that the governor has moved to the left on policy issues, some of which will arise next month.

I don't think he will; I do foresee some "feints", however. And if folks can stop with the kneejerk reactions, and watch the hidden "other" hand, they might begin to see some sense. (I'm not hopeful of seeing that here in FR, nonetheless, lol...)

"This is a governor who repealed a $4 billion car tax, brought the state back from insolvency without raising taxes, fixed workers comp and helped create 425,000 new jobs," he said. "He also just got done waging a campaign on some issues that Republicans have waited years to be brought to the ballot.

For the life of me, I can't imagine what you would be hopeful of seeing here in FR!!!

This very little here that even comes close to melding with your overly moderate and mushy views, from what I have seen you post!!!

Looks to me like you're another one of those that thinks the idea of partisan politics is what's wrong with not only CA, but America as well!!!

I know... You want to be a moderate so you can appear to everyone as being the smartest, most open minded and "fair" FReeper on the board, right???

If she is, that would be a first.
