10/7 Gray gave a very nice speech. He's clearly not going to be leaving
politics. Also, exit polls gave Tom a 53% positive rating across all
voters. I hope he runs against Boxer.
\_ This is a punch in the stomach of state democrats. I hope they
learned their lesson. In the meantime, Go Arnold!
\_ Yeah, it was a punch in the stomach 3 years ago when Bush won.
Boy, did I learn my lesson because today America is much
better than it was 3 years ago, right?
\_ We're talking state politics, right? So stop talking Bush
here. Davis was a nasty politician, just a notch above
corrupt. The governorship was for sale to the highest
bidder. If he was even 1/2 the governor that he was during
the last few weeks, he'd still be in office. But we all
saw thru the charade. He's gone, and good riddance. I'm
not pro-bush. I hate him. I hate most republicans, but when
the democrats go this wrong, this will send a message that
they better listen to. And don't get me wrong, the mesg goes
out to republicans, too, because they are just as much to
blame as anybody for the mess we're in. This lets Sacramento
know that the people will vote them out if they don't do
their job. My only regret is that there won't be a
"Kindergarten Cop II". Damn!
\_ Oh, for the love of Christ-- the governorship is still
up for sale, it's just that the price has gone up. Instead
of selling relatively cheap to Indian Casinos and Labor
Unions, expect the Governator to be kind to big Energy in
exchange for big political payoffs now and later. Say
goodbye to any chance of us getting more than pittance
from Enron, et. al.
\_ You're so 2001. We already weren't going to get
anything more from anyone on the energy bills. If you
thought otherwise it was just some caffeine induced
starbuck's fantasy.
\_ Arnie will prove you wrong.
\_ You know what? I hope you're right. I hope Arnie
will turn out to be that rarest of critters, a
truly uncorrupt, fiscally responsible, truly
compassionate conservative. If he does, I will
gladly post my most humble apologies right here.
In the meantime, even though I voted no on the
Recall, I will gladly admit that I am happy to
see Davis on his way out. If only we'd impeached
him instead....
\_ I hope this will send a message to the white house, too.
\_ nope. I am a democrat and I am not sure what "lesson" have
I learned, other than the fact not voting for Bush means
get screwed big time by Texas cowboys on Energy supply
and no federal intervention because the whitehouse and
the Kenny Boy is in the same club.
\_ I'll spell it out for you: there's no aristocracy in this
state. The people count and they're tired of seeing a jerkoff
like Davis blatantly sell out their interests to anyone with
a dollar and a bill they need signed. We have power and they
better wake the fuck up. That's the lesson to our worthless
"take a walk on that bill" legislators.
\_ The people are easily led and willing to believe that a
rich and ambitious man won't sell them down the river to
further the aims of the super-rich and politically
connected. Your masses, sir, are asses.
\_ They knew when they were getting screwed by a publicly
known corrupt politico and dumped his fat corrupt ass.
The people are just people and sometimes they fuck up
but this wasn't one of those times. If the election
had gone the other way you'd be here screaming how
brilliant the people are. Are you the same poster from
above who thinks BA voters are somehow special and
extra smart because the majority voted against recall?
\_ I loved how he was introduced: "best gov in the history of calif."
\_ Best governor in the last 11 months for sure!
