That explains a lot. Toomey stood by while Club for Growth spent $2 million in special interests money. Specter held the seat & chairs the Judiciary Committee. He's a moderate. And as a social conservative, I will take the President & his choices every time. Schwarzenegger hasn't delivered any tangible changes on state spending. Every time he goes to a special election it costs the taxpayers between $50 - $70 Million. All because he can't find a way to work with the legislature, not that the CA state legislature is all that great - they aren't. But he has ZERO institutional knowledge. And has not yet demonstrated the ability to govern. I support some of the ideas - but he needs to understand that the UC pension system is SEPARATE from CAlPERS & CalSTRS. The UC pensions are overfunded, thanks to Mr. Parsky's tenure as Chair of the Investment COmmittee & as the Regents Chair. Meaning, the Pension system that Parsky supervised - is the ONLY one that can actually pay for itself.
