How are the Democrats going to escape their fate of being the responsible party for the debt? ...... I know -- lie like HE double L.,

I think you just explained to me why the whole Enron, Enron, Enron chant has been resurected by the Democratic party at a national level. California is in trouble and Congressional seats in California could be important, plus they want Davis to remain in office. The Democrats need something, anything to try to save California. The only thing they can try to get a handle on is Ernon.

If Democrats handled this responsibly they would have to face reality and destroy relations with some constituency group during an election year. They can't do that so they have to find a Republican sounding boogie man that forced such action upon them. It will be Republicans and Enron that force the buget cuts in schools, social services and government employee unions! This will be an election in California of class warfare and the big lie. The re-election speeches on the California Assembly floor during budget debates should be something to behold.

This Enron thing being played across the media is not about Enron, it is not about Bush, it is all about saving the Democratic party in California. If it harms Bush that is great, but the main purpose from a national perspective is California and not Bush.

Yep. To prove your point, the Clymers at the NY Times last week ran a couple Demron/Grayout articles blaming Demron for California's woes. When the East Coast fishwraps are running campaign pieces for Grayout, you know they are worried. GoSimonGo...

Yup, as usual, we FReepers have caught on before anyone else. From this thread of a few days ago"

Sometimes I sits and thinks, and sometimes I just sits.
But I think I have this all figured out:
This "Get Enron" media hysteria is just an attempt to divert attention from the upcoming bankruptcy of California. I'd bet money that Lehane and Fabiani are still secretly working for Davis.
Mark my words. Later this month, or early next, when California State employee paychecks start to bounce, Enron will be the culprit.
If you re-read the article, you will find that Davis is already setting the stage for this - blaming Enron for the recession in California. He will blame Enron for the upcoming bankruptcy, too.
You heard it here first.
