Although I favor Tom McClintock, all signs were pointing to the imminent election of Schwarzenegger, and I was truly, honestly holding out some hope that his viewings of "Free to Choose" would kick it, and he would take on the state budget with a cleaver.

Sadly, I have pretty much lost any hope of that today.

Buffett is indeed a DemocRAT, and a rather nasty one at that.

Just like he "cosmetically" padded his resume by supporting governmental after school day care? I kinda like Arnold too but....his record positively shouts more taxes and more spending. There is little reason to hope otherwise or take a gamble on him.

Why have you given up hope? Buffet can provide plenty of useful information to Arnold on what the state needs to do to attract businesses and fix its credit rating and its energy mess.

So far there is no evidence that he doesn't plan to unveil a plan in a couple of weeks that includes cutting spending. Just wait for the plan, and then we can discuss its merits. Dreier did say last night that Arnold opposes the car tax increase.
