"After three years in office and an easy primary win, Gov. Gray Davis faces a strange problem: More California voters than ever actively dislike him.

"When asked why, in a Times poll last month, voters most often blamed his handling of the power crisis. Beyond performance-related gripes, many said in follow-up interviews that he seems soulless and ambitious, a tactician who sees all issues through the lens of political advance."

Others mention his plume of hair, his practiced political polish, his charmless campaign slogan ("Effectiveness you can count on"). "It sounds like a Metamucil ad," a Democratic consultant said.

LOL! In the LA Times!!

We're already out of the recession and the Fed is already looking at raising interest rates to slow the pace of the recovery.

Greenspan doesn't know if he's pitching or catching.

Take it from me, the recession is getting worse, unless of course we get into a significant war.

This guy Davis is so far out there, it will be another 1,000,000 years before he come back to visit earth again.
