Even Democrats like him. I have yet to hear a Californian who has a bad view of Tom, despite his conservative views being out of the mainstream in decidedly Democratic California. I think the odds are good he'll be elected Lt. Governor.

Yep, except my brother says no, because McClintock is too conservative on social issues. He is voting for Arnold however. It is rare he departs from the Dem line, about as rare as I depart for the GOP line.

On another note, the WSJ has an article on Congressperson junkets to Europe for fun and frolic, usually by air force jets (against House rules) today, with meals paid for by lobbyists, mostly defense ones, also against House rules, with no records kept, also against House rules. Most of the House member perps stonewalled when contacted by the WSJ, either just saying they are following the rules, with no specifics, or not returning calls, including the execrable Jerry Lewis who is under federal investigation for corruption vis a vis a defense contractor who also happened to host one of his lavish dinners in Europe. Don't tell anyone, but the GOP really does deserve to lose control of the House. Power corrupts, and they have been in power too long. It is time a hostile force investigated them all, and made them sweat, and then sweat some more.

Reading the article gave me the urge to take a shower to wash off the stench.
