"Anti-Bush voters are energized and ready,"

Angelides can certainly count on the moonbat vote.

This entire article is a coded message to those moonbats in positions of influence, that it is time to start the dirty tricks, since the prescious candidate is losing big.

"The uber-message is that Schwarzenegger is a flip-flopper," Lehane said. "They have to show he has no core values."

Well, he doesn't...but Angelides's problem is that he does have core values and they happen to be highly toxic to the future of the state.

Plus he would have to look like Brad Pitt to beat Arnold and he is the the quintessential leftist troll - if Helen Thomas had a nephew, Phil would be him. ;)

Angelides is a candidate straight out of Central Casting.

Arnold could not have found a better opponent.

On the one hand, you have a telegenic, media savvy ex-movie star versus a nebbish bookwork with all the sex appeal of a pair of old gym socks.

I sense the hand of Rove in the selection of Angelides.

Cheers,

Yet Angelides' campaign strategists insist the political landscape favors them -- and political analysts also see a way for Angelides to emerge as the victor.

His own consultants lie to collect their paycheck. Meanwhile,
Angelides doesn't have a chance. He's gonna get slaughtered.

...Schwarzenegger campaign defining him as a tax-and-spend liberal.
-----
He is that, and much worse. Taxifornia is already reeling from massive confiscatory taxation, and this socialist liberal wants to raise MANY taxes. Like most liberals, they have no sense of consequence of their Marxist-style actions...ONLY the quest for power and control. Businesses are already leaving the state in droves, headed for Nevada and other business-friendly states.

The libs are fools and idiots. Just pray this tax-crazy liberal moron does not get elected.

When you boil this all down, it says Angeledies can win by attacks alone. Nothing there about what Angeledies wants do do, or what his programs will be.

Typical Lehane loser strategy.

Angelides can certainly count on the moonbat vote.

Including the powerful unions which defeated Arnold's special election.

Arnold and Tom need every single Republican vote ... and then some.

If he goes into hiding between now and election day, and especially forbids his picture from being published.

Angelides' real problem is he has endorsed higher taxes. And more spending at a time when California is spending more than it takes in revenue. He is an ultra-Left politician who tries to be all things to all people. And that just isn't very believable, even among Democrats.

Angelides is his own worst enemy.

Vocally supporting homosexual based marriage was a dead ender and campaign killer.

Remember he was in charge of Calif. for Dukakis.

Angelides is just Gray Davis without the charisma.

""Anti-Bush voters are energized and ready,"

We can only hope the California Moonbats make this a Anti-Bush campaign as even Californians wake up to the real dangers of the WOT.

...and Villaraigosa is a presumed candidate for governor in 2010.

A disaster in the making. Can you say MEChA?

"We'll have plenty opportunity to communicate who this guy is, what he's all about," Maslin said. "And we know we gain as a result of that."

We already know who this guy is. He wants to raise taxes. That alone should be a deal breaker. Unfortunately, with CA voters, you're never sure. A very fickle bunch to say the least.

This article is full of bowel movements.

Punish Republicans for high gas prices and excessive corporate profits? Well, the idiots who are already blaming the Republicans for this are already going to vote for Angelides anyway and won't get any madder. Reasonable people, including regular liberals, understand the real reason why gas prices are high.

This is typical left-wing SOP.

If he is elected be prepared for higher taxes, he said he would raise them.
The libs. in California are screwing this state, the legislature is trying to come up with ideas for financing "affordable" housing. all with taxing and fees. then what? Gee, off hand, I would say stop with the extreme environmental mandates, seems that might be step one.

I love when the media gives campaign advice to Democrats. "Here, you have to do this so you win!"

Angelides is done. Stick a fork in him. I may not be thrilled with Arnold, but the fact is Angelides is as dull as dirt and cannot count on an anti-Bush vote carrying him into office. The real fever swamp types would vote for him regardless. Less partisan Democrats will be open to voting for Arnold based on the state of the state, and the fact there's not much one can associate Arnold with Bush on. I don't think there's any perception or connection to Bush in this state between he and Arnold. I think Arnold has kept the president at arm's length.

None of these facts leaves Angelides with much.

Angelides appears to have found an issue -- political reform

LOL, only media types in their ivory towers could be so disconnected from reality as to think this is an issue that moves voters. Please. This is inside-baseball type stuff that never wins elections nor finds any passion among voters.

Also, to claim that Arnold has been weak on reform is a claim that will only play among those who forget all his reform props. last year that the unions spent nearly a quarter of a billion dollars to defeat. I don't think most people forget that fact and will be moved by any claim that Arnold isn't a reformer. I think most people understand he's been up against an immovable object when it comes to reforming the state. Yet he's still had some successes such as with worker's comp.

Angelides hasn't a prayer. He's non plus on several levels.

You can understand why the CAGOP rushed to close their gubernatorial primary.

Even a conservative could whip this weasel look alike.

"Angelides must seize his opportunities"

Seems Arnie already has seized him by the opportunities.....

"The uber-message is that Schwarzenegger is a flip-flopper," Lehane said. "They have to show he has no core values."

Lehane you are still the schmuck from the Algore campaign who never got it!

Far from been a Schwarzenegger's cheer leader, the man delivered 2 things I cared for.

1. No Driver's licenses for illegals.

2. He balanced the California's budget without raising taxes and we are running in black numbers budget wise.

Based on those two issues The Terminator has my vote.
Under no circumstances will I vote for that Wiesel face Angelides, who promised tax increases right off the bat!

You can fault the Gov. all you want, but he turned the tables on the liberal wing and carved off the moderates.

Of Angelides, insiders in Sacramento still snicker and call him the one with "all the charm of a CPA on crack".
