"I want you to ignore what the polls say," Angelides told about 100 union workers at a labor hall in Burlingame Sunday afternoon. "Arnold Schwarzenegger thinks he's got this thing locked away." Afterward, he added, "I think you're going to see a big surprise."

Phil--it's over.

[TeenagedConservative]

Republicans everywhere should be ahead by 15 points or more.

I can understand the position of staying home to punish Republicans. I can even understand voting for Libertarians or Constitutionalists.

But there is no concievable reason to ever vote for a Democrat. And Americans are, quite frankly, stupid to have forgotten history so quickly.

(To paraphrase from what KFI 640 afternoon drive-time hosts John & Ken said of Angelides' impending blowout loss,)

Thank heavens the Dems foolishly nominated Red Phil. If it were Westly -- who actually has quite similar socialist (far left of Arnold) views, but is more charismatic and does a better job of appealing to business -- we'd have a worse problem.

Not that Arnold is any peach, but at least he SOMEtimes blocks the worst excesses of the lefty legislature. ehh, but that's a whole different thread's worth, there.

I don't know of a single conservative or Republican in California planning to "stay home" or vote democrat.

There are plenty of reasons to show up:

1. To vote YES on Lt. Gov Tom McClintock
2. To vote YES on AG Chuck Poochigian (vs. Moonbeam as Top Cop)
3. To vote YES on Conroller Tony Strickland
4. To vote NO on Debt
5. To vote NO on Taxes

Not THIS year!

A 'throw-away' vote is a Democrat vote and too much is at risk.

McClintock was on this afternoon with Roger Hedgecock. He was very optimistic and remarked his internal polling shows him ahead 3 with registered voters and 5 with likely voters.

Asked about Arnold, he said Arnold's been very helpful and had highlighted McClintock in 10 different fund-raisers.

There's been a nationwide shift to the GOP! So Phil Angelides thinks a Blue Tsunami is in the offing to rescue him? ROFL! In his dreams.

Yes, it is over Phil, get a clue.

If you want a political Career, you could always move to San Francisco. One way or another, I think Pelosi will be looking for a new job shortly. If they lose this time, she'll be shamed and humiliated. If they win, she'll be a disaster, and be forced out.
