I have a question about Bustamonte, our potential "default" governor
He used the word "nigger" recently? How recent, and what was the context?

Bustamante used the N word much more recently and apologized profusely to the black community, saying he had misspoken. About Schwarzenegger’s statements to Oui magazine, Bustamante declared, “People don’t care about these things. They care about the issues. This is not the time to look back.”

1. Yes he did use the "n" word publicly in the past few years
he apologized profusely. I leave it to the black community to decide if that was enough. He is correct that policy is more important than trash talk and gossip. It's also the Dems strong suit.

2. How many times do I have to post this link?

Listen for yourself to Cruz and Tavis Smiley discuss this issue.

I get the sense Cruz has been forgiven by the black community.

3. It doesn't seem...
like it was meant as an insult, rather a slip of the tongue. I think he meant to say "negro" instead...Strange, but these kinds of things do happen...

I myself hope (and believe) most people will vote on his record and his ideas for the state.
