CA is totally screwed financially. The latest budget only makes the problem worse. Maybe winning the title of Captain of the Titanic AFTER hitting the iceberg is not really a win for Republicans.”
First, Republicans/Conservatives/the Right are better off with Arnold over Bustamonte … or Davis. He may not be our ideological soulmate, but he has declared himself to be on our side. I’ll take that.
Second, California will survive. Unlike the Titanic, it won’t disappear so your analogy doesn’t float. Whoever wins the recall elections will have a difficult job. The fact is that California is, like some of our biggest banks, “too big to fail.” It cannot be allowed to declare bankruptcy. So, when the state recovers or gets bailed out, wouldn’t it be nice to have someone with an R after his name at the helm?
