I can't even understand it. I should stop trying and save myself the ulcer. I'm only twenty, for Pete's sake, too young to die of a heart attack.
Needless to say, the opinions of someone in Texas regarding who should or should not be voted for for governor of California carry as much weight as did the decrees of Norton I, Emperor of the United States and the Protector of Mexico.
Hey, the sky isn't falling. Everything started looking better once the recall was approved.
And Arnold might be able to do some excellent things for our state. I don't believe he's the lefty that everyone against him on FR has made him out to be. He's just working a little too hard to please everyone, and that tends to annoy people on the right.
When you're ahead in the polls the way Arnold has been, it's best to avoid making a big mistake that could hurt your lead. So he's easy on the ideology and big on optimism, his ability to cut spending, and show leadership. Meanwhile he's been a superb businessman, and he's obviously grown to be quite a patriot.
This is going to be a bipartisan race, and he's not too far off base in trying to assuage center/left fears of all things Republican. My bet is that he'd use his veto and stop the extra spending that is bleeding us dry, and focus on optimism. Good. But right now, he's been unclear about enough things (and too clear on not being willing to cut education) so I still prefer to stick with McClintock.
Both McClintock and Schwarzenegger are going to have to stay focused on cutting spending and bringing back jobs. I just happen to think that McClintock would cut education, and the Terminator wouldn't -- and that's where about half of the useless spending happens in this state!
