Susan Estrogen was on MSNBC this morning (yeah, I watch Fox News, but sometimes I flip over to MSNBC during the Ditech ads!) saying that there was going to be trouble for the Democrats tomorrow morning. Davis and Bustamante have done a poor job of papering over their contempt for each other during the campaign, expect it to erupt into severe name calling (and worse) during the coming weeks leading up to Arnold's swearing-in.
Your point about the governor being tossed out on his butt is well taken. Since the last recall was many, many decades ago, we needed the freshness of making an example out of Grayout to show all the Rats (and some Pubbies, too!) the importance of not going out too far on a limb when kissing up to special interests.
Hopefully, those of us on the right will give Arnold a chance to see what he can do before beating up on him. He pretty much has to govern from the center, given the lion's den he has asked to be dropped into. I'd rather go into the 2004 election seeing Arnold viewed as competant, with only the Rats whining about their bad luck. Like the writer of this article said, what you see in CA, you start to see in the rest of the country. Hopefully, a year and a month from now, we will see Rats nationwide as dejected as Grayout and Bustameche will be tomorrow.

Are you ever right on with that statement!
Lions den, indeed.
California is the trend setting state, or so I've been programmed to believe.
Arnolds handle on the job, and how it is percieved by the people, will mean everything to the next presidential election.
If he gets elected, and looks good overall for the next 6 months or so, it will drive the socialists to begin taking poison pills.
