But before Republicans do that, they should really get together and unify behind a single candidate. This seems obvious, but we *are* talking about California Republican candidates for public office, so the obvious is sometimes lost in the heat of headstrong egotism...
I thought that KFI (at least, I think it is KFI) has a good idea when it started to advertise a radio call-in contest to roll back the vehicle tax increase. This is another area where there is no safe position to hold for a Democratic candidate. Bustamante says he will get rid of the vehicle tax increase. I am sure that a lot of liberal Californians will believe him, and then forgive him if and when he gets elected and subsequently changes his mind and goes back to tax-and-spend mode. It is amazing that liberal Californians have been boxed by the recession and Prop 13 to support one of the most regressive tax increases in modern history. But we *are* talking about California liberals, so apparently *any* tax is a *good* tax.
It should be interesting to witness the *second* recall, when Arnold can't find any programs to cut which do not affect children in some way or another. So far, it sounds as if Arnold puts his liberal social values ahead of his fiscal common sense. He, and the rest of California, can't have it both ways...
Amen.
