The California Governor's Race 2006

What is the Secretary of State of California doing to assure that the governor's election in California cannot be stolen?

2. the problem w/ this is that Arnold is "popular"

so it'll be easier to steal an election. If nobody liked him and he had like a 20% approval rating. It would look really shady if he "won". I hate it how people are starstruck by him! It's so detrimental

4. That's why we should consider an actor, like Ben Affleck.

I wonder if we could get Redford to come to California and run.

3. Nobody is aware (yet) that Arhnolds Tax Reform plan is identical

to Colorado's 1992 TABOR taxpayer bill of rights plan. Capped to inflation and population growth with lure of rebates. I think they swap out 'rebates' to 'rainy day fund' in CAs.

Funny thing though, Colorado is now electing Democrats ! After 14 years experience with TABOR, you'd think investigative reporters would have looked into this, but you'd be amazed at how co-opted reporters are these days.

"Arnold Schwartzeneggar Supports TABOR"

reprints a WSJ article of der governator supporting TABOR. This Idaho site btw also shows the extent of other states looking into CATO Institute instigated TABORs. KS, NC, WI, ID, FL, etc.
