"Whatever. I don't really have a dog in this fight. I'm mainly looking forward to some good TV as the recall moves on. From what I've seen of this McClintock fellow, he's a loon, but that's OK because he won't be Governor anyway."

You've got to stop listening to the Ah-nold and Riordan disciples and the leftist media. McClintock is not only NOT a loon, but the only one with a solid plan to put the state back on a sound fiscal track. He's the one that stood firm against the 'Rats in the State Senate in preventing an even worse budget from being rammed down the throats of Californians.

"Whatever one-issue republicans think, I'd say the smart money is that Arnold may just in fact be the next Governor of California. I'd say either get used to it or decide which democrat you want vote for to keep him out of there. It looks like the race is his to win or lose, and if he's beaten it *won't* be by another republican."

I don't know what this one-issue business is, but I think asking for a remotely across-the-board right-of-center candidate is not too much to ask. And you can dress up a 'Rat pig any way you like, but it's still a 'Rat pig, and Ah-nold is a 'Rat pig pretending to be a Republican.

"So have you decided which democrat to vote for?"

I'll tell you which Democrat I WON'T vote for, and that Democrat is Ah-nold.

Anybody that thinks that the State of California can simply violate the terms of contracts without any repercussion is a loon.

Yes, the energy contracts are a bad thing. No argument there, but defaulting on the contracts is worse.

But it just doesn't matter. He is not going to win, even if BOTH of the republicans in California show up to vote. That state is history. It has crossed the boundary to totalitarianism. A conservative has a better chance of being elected in Cuba.

I don't think you will be voting for anyone in California unless you move here quickly...
