7. That's exactly what our entire extended family (& friends) are doing.
Of 8 propositions on the ballot, only 1, Prop 79, was not written by Repuke interests.

12. Not a problem.
All the props he supports are items we'd oppose regardless of the sponsorship and it rankles us that we have to pay for yet another special election.

If the side effect is that we help the Gub's race to the bottom in the polls, so much the better.:D

14. I would think it should
do more than "rankle" Californians to have to pay for the shovelnator's special election when the state is hurting so badly they want to CUT CUT CUT NECESSARY PROGRAMS.

I hope it PISSES ya'll so much..you oust that Sleezebag back to whatever planet he came from.

15. rankle
is just a polite way of saying 'pissed off'
:thumbsup:

We can't get rid of him before next year without spending even more money the state doesn't have, and frankly I think there is still enough voter apathy that in another recall we could get someone even worse. I think the best we can do now is have the Democratic assembly flex its muscle (no Ahnold pun intended.)

2. Very sweet....Glad to see he's still dropping, even if its just 1 point...
The Gubenator (or the Kahleefornicator as I like to call him) deserves to be humiliated for deceiving the public by running as a moderate. He's just another Bush-puke clone.

4. I think those numbers are higher than the actual opinion in CA
Schwarzenazi is despised by most people I know - even the people who were most behind him when he was first elected. He took a bad situation and made it even worse.

Gosh, I can't imagine why, I know when I think of a chief administrator for one of the world's largest economies, I immediately think of a body builder and putative actor. :sarcasm:

6. Low Profile-except for photo-op with firefighters working on the wildfires
As reported on CNN yesterday, Arnold's office ordered firefighters working on the wildfires to stand next to him at a photo-op appearance he made in the area yesterday, where among other things he boasted that he "played a firefighter in the movies at one time".

11. Those firefighters did such a kick-ass job -
they have a 100% approval rating from everyone who lives in the affected area - which includes me. Less than a mile from my home is a large tract of houses that were a few yards from incineration. The firefighters saved them all - and thousands of others.

No one is fooled by Ahnold's photo op. He's tried to cut firefighter's pensions. They loathe him and will be actively working for whoever challenges him. Mandatory evacuation next year for Ahnold - out of Sacramento.

8. Pretty great news, especially when you consider ...
... that Arnold has been spending a ton of money here on TV spots these last few months.

The Austrian Joke probably figured that once he started running his bullshit advertising things would turn around for him.

Think again, Arnold.

10. on my local news they did a "special investigation" to see how much $$$
has been raised for the special election, Gropenfuher raised 28 million, far short of his goal while the labor unions raised 70 million far exceeding their goal.
