This is all pretty laughable with the discussion of how no Republican can win an election or survive an appointment that won’t be approved. Talk of the Governator reshaping politics in that state is akin to discussing the arrangement of deck chairs on the Titanic.
“Hilda Solis as labor secretary “
Can’t be any good news after that line - she is a card carrying member of the Socialist Party and a La Raza member...
Solis served near the end of the Carter administration in the White House Office of Hispanic Affairs,[1] where she was editor-in-chief of a newsletter...became a management analyst at the civil rights division of the Office of Management and Budget, but her dislike for Ronald Reagan’s policies motivated her to leave later that year.[6][13]
In her one term in the State Assembly, Solis was prominent in the debate on illegal immigration to the United States, backing a bill to allow illegal immigrants to attend California colleges as long as they were state residents
...five-member Board of Equalization...
Huh?
Garamendi.... when will he go away?
Big strong Ahnald will do exactly what his Kennedy family wife tells him to do. Then he’ll ask permission to go outside.
He’s not capable of a smart decision.
Or... appointing Abel Maldonado would give Maldonado a leg up on the Lt. Guv spot. He has been Arnold's pet lapdog for the past several years introducing some of the most contentious legislation (e.g. minimum wage hikes), has given the Dems the deciding vote on various budget and borrowing bills and Harvey Milk "gay day," and will face a difficult primary election in his pursuit of the Lt. Gov spot in 2010 given his liberal record. Running as an incumbent would greatly increase his chances.
