When Leno read in Saturday's Chronicle that Mary Canavan, a lifelong Democrat, was "almost certain" to vote for Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, he found her number in directory assistance and called her at home, giving her a 15-minute pitch for Angelides.
It wasn't only Leno who took the Berkeley woman to task about her planned vote for the governor, she said.
"I got a lot of e-mails from friends, some saying 'I agree' and others saying 'Have you thought about this?' '' Canavan said at the rally.
She admitted she was disappointed with the showing of the Democratic Party and pleased with the direction the governor has been taking.
But after Leno's call -- and a couple of others from the assemblyman over the next few days -- Canavan began to have second thoughts about breaking ranks with her party.

I knew there was a reason I never liked Leno. Now I know why. Scumbag.
This is not JAY Leno.
This is an idiot leftist CA assembly man, MARK Leno.
( I couldn't add that in the excerpt, becaue of the word limitation, but it's in the article)
But I agree, when someone says Leno, Mark Leno is NOT who comes to mind first. :)
Did he save a vote, or did he throw a drowning womand an anchor?
Oh, I knew that he is Mark Leno from the start. My comment was directed at the fact that before this article I didn't know much about Mark Leno or what he stands for. Now it is clear.
But, since you brought it up, I'm not overly fond of JAY Leno either.
Yup, scumbag. May he rot in hell.
My personal guess is that the woman will still vote for Arnold, she just agreed with them, to get them off her case.
So sayeth the liberal Democrat from Berkeley.
The recreational sodomy might have had something to do with it.
Yep if she's a pro-abort, enviro-whacko, gun-grabber like everyone else in Berkeley then she's going to stick with Arnold.
"Yep if she's a pro-abort, enviro-whacko, gun-grabber like everyone else in Berkeley then she's going to stick with Arnold."
Naturally, of course she wouldn't vote for your fine pro-life, pro-business, anti-gun control Angelides, right? (SARCASM)
Not to mention that what you said about Arnold is NOT TRUE.

I hope you're right. Dems are so easily swayed.
Probably not, since that part of his life I was not aware of. I recall hearing something about him in reference to an assembly bill he either sponsored or was supporting which caused me to dislike him. The "recreational sodomy", though, does increase my disdain for him.
Gotta have your own thread again, huh?

The Governor signed SB 50. It was a liberal agenda effort to create an imaginary boogieman. It banned a weapon that has never been used in any crime in California. It's all part of the slippery slope, and Arnold signed on lock stock and barrel. He's a gun grabber and a liberal. That's why they love him in Berkeley.
