CA: Angelides struggles to save campaign
Mercury News ^ | Sept. 24, 2006 | Kate Folmar

Posted on 09/24/2006 9:19:41 AM PDT by FairOpinion

There was Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger in the elegant Los Angeles Central Library signing an education measure as two top Democratic politicians beamed behind him. A few days later, he toured a Sunnyvale fuel cell company with New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, his moderate Republican ``soul mate.''

His opponent, Democrat Phil Angelides, hit the L.A. circuit the same day as the governor -- rallying only a modest crowd in West Hollywood with Sen. John Kerry, who carried California handily in the 2004 presidential race.

``Death spiral''

``The Angelides campaign is in a rut and needs to jerk the wheel'' to extract itself, said Lehane, who worked on Al Gore's presidential race in 2000. ``But as Election Day gets close, it gets harder and harder to do that.''

"You're guy" is up 20 points, why keep opening him up to his own failings for the conservativa agenda, he is Gub after all and has lots of powers he hasn't chosen to wield or maybe even realized he can use... counter that with his many successes for the loony lefty liberals that populate his staff.

Have fun.. less than 6 weeks or so and we'll see how much deeper the state goes deeper in debt.. regardless who's party flag flies over the Capitol. love those out-sourced politicos , especially ones from Austria, mighty social fellows, in more ways than one, if ya get my drift..

"Angelides is also banking on a low turnout among Schwarzenegger's political base of conservatives, some of whom have been irked by his deals with Democratic lawmakers on vast public works bonds and other matters."

Angelides is counting on YOU to not vote for Arnold, to help Angelides win and you plan to do just that.

I just can't understand why he's getting his butt handed to him. (/s)

What is it about Democrats and the whole Al Gore Zen thing? Do they really think their constituents want to vote for a warm corpse?

Arnold does enough right to make him worlds better for the state than the San Francisco liberal types that infest California. Angelides, well, he's a nice placeholder for a real candidate.

What pic.

"Bueller . . . . . Bueller . . . . . Bueller . . . . . Bueller . . . . ."

The man has all the personality and warmth of an ink stain in a dress shirt pocket.

Angeledes is running "Arnold supported Bush, will he support you?" ads.

They remind me of the SNL parodies saying "George Bush's ancestors game from WESTERN Europe. Dukakis' ancestors came from EASTERN Europe." (they were hilarious).

The thing about Angelides' approach is this: It is an OFFICIAL PROCLAMATION that the Democrats don't have any ideas of their own and are running/will run on a "bash Bush" platform.

This is California, folks. The DNC has NOT abandoned it like the Republicans have.

The first time I saw those, my response was, "Okay! We get it! You idiots hate Bush too! That ain't a campaign issue, you morons!"
