I believe that the public has been getting a big education on the ways of politics (state and national) since Florida 2000. With Florida, NJ Torricelli/Lautenberg, Minnisota Wellstone, Hawaii Mink (ok, less known), media bias, 9/11, Iraq reporting vs. imbed reporting, Senate filibusters, etc., the people are paying attention and won't easily fall for a ploy that blames a decade of Democrat rule on 2 years of a Republican governor with the same Democrat legislature and executive branches.

Well, it would be awefully easy thing for them to do so. In fact, its a far easier thing for them to do in order to retain power than any resigning/etc. There they subvert Democracy. Here they capitulate and let us fall flat on our nose. After all, Ahrnold or whoever will be campaigning on FIXING the problem. A failure is judged as a total-failure and responsibility by the Liberal Media. Stop underestimating them. They've managed to take the -$38.2 billion off the rader screen, they can blame defaults on Ahnold, you better believe.
As it stands now, the Legislature is polling lower than Davis out here, there will be sweeping changes there in 04 and beyond...and they KNOW it. Its the bottom of the 9th and these guys need a home run.
Ahrnold's inability to understand Supply Side economics, (demonstrated in his appointment of Warren Buffet as lead Economic Advisor) is the Governor they need as an Intentional walk to bring up their home run slugger.
