Since there are only TWO choices: Arnold or Angelides, if you don't consider Arnold leading in the poll, I guess you must be an Angelides supporter.

There are more than two choices, and I never indicated who I was supporting. I was ridiculing your assertion that there is something exciting about a headline that declares "Light brown, is leading over beige " Angelides and Arnold are essentially the same thing. So chill.

Angelides and Arnold are essentially the same thing.

===

This is the most ridiculous statement of the CA elections.
They are polar opposites -- even Angelides is running as "anti-Arnold"

ANGELIDES:
Angelides calls himself a champion of "progressive values." As state treasurer, he has pushed public pension funds to dump tobacco stocks, invest in urban renewal projects and pressure corporations into cleaning up the environment. A close ally of labor, he also supports abortion rights, gay marriage, gun control and driver's licenses for illegal immigrants.

If he makes it into a general-election race, his call for increasing taxes could pose problems; Schwarzenegger has been steadfast in opposing higher taxes.

=====

In the meantime, Arnold:

"They're focused on the Capitol's perpetual war between business and the big four Democratic Party subfactions: labor unions, personal injury lawyers, environmentalists and consumer protection advocates.

The past two years have been bleak ones for the Big 4 because Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger has aligned himself with the California Chamber of Commerce and other business groups, rejecting nearly all of the measures they had dubbed "job killers." Schwarzenegger and business, moreover, bulldozed the Legislature into approving an overhaul of worker's compensation that authorities say is reducing employers' costs by $15 billion a year. It was the most significant advance either side had made in the war in many years and one that Democrats and their allies now want to undo. "

Arnold also vetoed the homsexual marriage bill, which Anglides and Westly are on record of supporting.

Arnold made the legislature rescind the drivers licenses for illegals bill, then when they put it on his desk again, he vetoed it. Angelides and Westly are on the record FOR the bill.

Arnold categorically refused to raise taxes, despite Dem pressure and his Dem opponents are proposing huge tax increases.

There are huge differences with major impacts on CA, between Arnold and the Dems.
