The stem cell proposition got his support, true, but it was the PEOPLE who voted for it and to go into debt.

He saw it as an opportunity to foster growth California's biomedical industry. He's been fairly pro-business.

I voted against it but as we saw tonight, the governor's support is hardly enough for a proposition to win at the ballot box.

We need to stop playing nice and rightly define the radicals in the legislature. Just like happened tonight, their interests defined the terms of the debate. It happens back in D.C. as well. It's the most frustrating thing and only reason I sometimes go delusional and want to embrace campaign reform spending limits.

We need to fix the GOP in California. It's a disorganized mess which can't get folks fired up and out to the polls. Replacing Arnold with a McClintock isn't going to fix things. The problem is in the legislature but more to the point, it's in GOTV and fund-raising.

Result of the in-fighting? GOP stay home. It's probably why we lost tonight across the board instead of winning on 73 and 75.

Putting a veto pen in his hand instead of a cigar might go some towards buying that statement. lol

I think so many people looking in who don't live in California or never lived there don't understand why McClintock can't win... and how a meathead really could get elected in that upside-down state... and when people stay home and don't vote or vote for someone who doesn't stand a chance then this is what we get.... and why NJ now has a Corzine.
