For those who think Westly (DEMOCRAT) is better than Schwarzenegger (REPUBLICAN), please read above.

Just a few excerpts from the above speech:

"I’m proud to have worked for Jimmy Carter on solar energy in 1979.

Proud to have run for party chairman in 1989.

Proud that you elected me Controller in 2002 -- because someone needed to beat Tom McClintock.

I’m proud to have sued the Bush administration for diverting money from our schools to oil companies.

Proud to have fought to increase and index the minimum wage.

Proud to have helped LGBT couples get tax equality from the Board of Equalization."

Anyone who admires the acumen of Jimmy Carter is highly suspect.

Isn't he involved in George Soros money too somewhere? Or am I mistaken?
