While lawyers support Angelides, businessmen and women support Arnold.


Small-business owners favor Schwarzenegger (Small Bus. Org. Endorses Arnold by 95% of the vote)

Ninety percent of California small-business owners who are members of the National Federation of Independent Business gave their approval to endorse a candidate in this year's gubernatorial election, according to a survey released today.

And 95 percent of the votes were for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Only 1 percent of the people who employ the majority of working Californians supports State Treasurer Phil Angelides for governor, the survey shows.

"When you have one candidate promising to raise every tax in the state on one side and a governor with a measurable record of doing his best for small business on the other side, the lopsided result can't be much of a mystery," Martyn Hopper, state director for the 35,000-member NFIB/California, said in a statement. "Governor Schwarzenegger has been positively stellar for Main Street, California, mom-and-pop firms."

...threatening to withhold future cases from doctors who do not contribute at least $2,500 to the Democratic gubernatorial candidate's campaign...

If that kind of extortion isn't illegal, it certainly should be. I wonder what the California Election Code has to say about that sort of thing.

Nothing new. The lawyers always play to the libs, who will do ANYTHING for campaign money and votes. Just like they did with Clinton and Gore on TORT REFORM -- a $160,000 donation from the Trial Lawyers Association got tort reform killed by Clinton --- such pieces of criminal excrement, the libs are.

I work at an applicant workers' comp firm, and the lawyers may support Angelides, but the support staff supports Schwarzenegger - and the support staff outnumbers the attorneys by about 4 to 1.
