The only reason the recall is going on is because Gray Davis hid the extent of California's finacial problems from the people of that state. The extent of the mandate for this recall is to fix the problem.

Arnold's pretty solid on Prop 13, and he is a very smart operator. And he has the ability win veto fights when they occur (they WILL occur).

I will admit that I had some sentimental support for Simon, who rightfully feels that he was robbed because the facts were hidden. But the fact is, he messed up the campaign.

You bring up a good point I'd missed. That IS one conservative position on which Schw has been specific and firm: he's for Proposition 13. One in that column.

Thanks; that's what I meant by "discussion." Not the snipes and slogans we're already having.

Thanks.
