Here's what I heard Tom McClintock say about rescinding the contracts: Gray Davis' chief negotiator for the contracts was a paid consultant by one or more of the energy companies (at least one of them anyway. I didn't write down the details and can't remember the particulars). As such, there was a conflict of interest to have this person negotiating contracts with these companies. Mr. McClintock said the law allows the contracts to be voided on this basis. I don't know - I don't know the law, just reporting out what I've heard him say. He further said that the reason Davis hasn't voided the contracts on this basis is that it would be, to say the least, embarassing to him to have to admit that the person he was using for the contract negotiations had ties to the energy companies.

If anyone has any more information on this, or can flesh out any of the details, or can correct me if i'm wrong, please feel free to do so.

I also heard him discussing that on KSFO. There were several suggestions made by McClintock that I think Arnold should also study; including rolling back and adopting an earlier budget.

Just heard Juan Williams talking about celebrity politics and that was a bad thing. Then he says Bustamante will get hispanics out to vote and that's a good thing.

Good points and logic on the contracts, hope he is right! He needs to get that message out.
