He jetted to Juneau to plan 2012 strategy with Gov Palin.

When those in other states stop hiring illegals who first come into Calif. and by Fed. mandate we have to support them by the Billions a year, prblems solved.

Nice try, Oztrich boy.

Obuma is destroying the nation. We care about that.

Gov. Sanford went hiking. So what?

Your effort at equivalency was pitiful.

Try again. Maybe you can find some example of Gov. Sanford stealing and nationalizing GM.

Go ahead and look. I’ll wait.

Oh how ridiculous to post pretty, scenic, pictures. We have great looking places in CA, too.

The point that was being made is that during these post 9/11 times, when anything unexpected can happen, the gov. should NOT be unable to be reached "until he checks in".

“California, has earthquakes without notice, fires that takeout thousands of homes”

Okay, you got me curious. Which CA governor has thwarted earthquakes and saved thousands of homes?

Please list years, homes saved and earthquakes stopped.

The big thing here is not knowing that the governor was going to be unavailable, that is where precious time is lost.

The emergency happens and everybody thinks that the governor is here so they call him and then they call some other people and it wastes valuable time before they figure out that there is no governor and there won’t be a governor, in the aftermath of a terrorist attack to find out that the governor has eluded his security and his cell phone is off could cause a huge level of concern and activity on it’s own aside from what ever the initial attack consisted of.

Sounds like my kind of guy. Fishing beats a political convention full of pompous asses any day.

In view of this lost week, that daydreaming story doesn’t seem so folksy and nice.

So in California your Lt. Governor is just a figurehead?

If a mayor has to ask for more resources, the gov. is asked and helps when he is in place.

We are all lucky, Sandy will not get any further than S.C. and you folks can enjoy his company.

What is your source that Knotts made the call to Sanford’s appointee rather than Lloyd raising the alarm as the WSJ says?

How did that figure in to this discussion. The SC Lt Gov. says he didn't know the Gov. was gone.

Are you saying that if a state gov. goes off without his security detail to a place where cell reception is out AND his second in command doesn't know about it BUT that's okay? Wow....shaking my head.

Hey CA, when you had to evacuate your home along with 500,000 others here, it was nice to know the State could also be counted on with out having to find where the Gov. was.

After reading thru my various posts, I may have improperly insulted you.

My apologies, sir.

A rumor at this point, that has the distinct ring of truth to it, if you knew the shenanigans that have transpired thus far.

We’ll find out tomorrow.

You can make all the excuses for Sandy, he was a non starter to begin with, now it is double so.

Too bad, I think that you tried to pass it off as more than that, what is the source of your rumor?

Yep, our Gov. was authorizing funds by quickly declaring a state of emergency. That happened immediately. Good thing he wasn't out on an inaccessible hiking trail unable to get back to us until 4 days later, or when he happened to next check in.
