Schwarzenegger has said he would put health care at the top of the agenda in a second term.

Oh, goody!

I bet he doesn't win by as much as people think. I also bet this gap is going to draw tighter in the closing days.

Good news only because Angelides is so terrible.

We'll probably see single payer health care in an Arnold second term. What's life like being the state's top liberal? Fantastic - when you have a double digit lead in the polls!

This is for calcowgirl and Amerigomag:

Spence said he's not worried about the prospect of Angelides raising taxes as governor because Republicans in the Legislature would never give him the two-thirds vote he would need.

On the other hand, Spence said, if Schwarzenegger changes his mind on a tax increase in a second term, he might be able to persuade enough Republican legislators to go along with him to reach two-thirds.

“The only thing we have to rely on is his word, and that's not good enough with him,” Spence said.

This is the killer sentence:“The only thing we have to rely on is his word, and that's not good enough with him." Exactly. Republicans will be able to block Angelides from raising taxes. But a re-elected Arnold would be able, in the event he decided to change his mind, to coerce enough Republicans into voting to increase them! Now what was that FO says about Angelides being worse? Hardly because he can't get Republicans to sell out to the liberal agenda. But Arnold is capable of doing that kind of damage and more - if he's re-elected.

So now y'all can see why I have NOT endorsed his re-election in November. The price of victory isn't worth the weakening it would bring to our party.
