I guess there were no qualified Republicans out of 35 million people in California, so he had to go back to Gray Davis hacks.

Someone tell me again why we had the Recall?

Arnold has proven he is just a RINO. He is proving it over and over again.

She'll slither in eventually. I get so sick of her third-grade taunts that I prefer to put it off as long as possible.

You need to read the rest of the article, Dan. He's got two market-based experts in John Ramey and Ruth Liu, balanced out by the "headline" guy Richard Figueroa, and former Davis staffer Herb Schultz. The plan here is to have these four duke it out and hammer out a proposal that can have broad support, to expand care for those who lack insurance, and yet not destroy the commercial market. To Arnold's credit, he's already come out against the dreaded single-payer scheme of the Kuehl bill. The rumor is that Arnold will propose something like Massachusetts enacted earlier this year, but the Mass. approach probably won't fly in California. As an aside, I know Herb Schultz. He used to work for the Amer. Association of Health Plans, an HMO advocacy organization. While he came out from DC to work in Calif., and took a job with the new Dept. of Managed Health Care when it was created during Davis' tenure, Herb understands the issues, and comes at them from the perspective of the marketplace. He's not that bad a guy.

You're missing the point. It's an allegedly Republican adminsistration. They don't need ANY democrat liberals.

Is there any chance that McClintock wins the Lt Governorship?

I wouldn't worry too much about that. Whenever FO is notified that Arnold's come out of the closet AGAIN, it ends up a very quiet thread. If not, there's a lot of activity that gets the lurkers to read it.

As a matter of fact there is. This is the only bright hope in this election in CA. From Tom's website:
Two new polls released this week show John Garamendi losing support in the race for Lt. Governor. On Saturday, the Los Angeles Times reported that Tom McClintock had a one-point lead 42% to 41%. The prestigious Field Poll released today shows Garamendi has “lost traction with voters while support for McClintock…has held steady.”

Good catch.

meanwhile....

<FO>"I see you are campaigning for Angelides again by publicizing more of Arnold's dirty liberal secrets. Well Angelides would have made this guy Chief of Staff. At least Arnold is holding him down as Deputy Appointments Secretary where he can do far less damage " </FO>

Arnold stopped being a "Republican" at least a year ago. I've given up expecting anything from Arnold. But I will say that by bringing together a diverse group of advisors, he's trying to anticipate all the angles of the debate next year. That's his rationale, and he's not turned over the whole issue to ex-Davis staffers, as most of the commenters on this thread assume.

The "La Raza Lawyers Assoc." is a non-descript organization of Mexican-American (Latino) attorneys. It is not the radical "La Raza" group.

Bet you these "market-based" experts won't tackle the illegals using CA's healthcare.

Here's a picture of the Santa Clara chapter of the La Raza Attorney's Association --

A real mean looking group of revolutionaries.

Probably not. But maybe. Who knows? Are you privy to their mandate?

There are links to La Raza, LULAC, and MALDEF on most of their websites.

That's good enough for me.
