1. Yippee! I'm casting my primary vote for Westly.

Won't vote for Angelides unless I have to.

3. Feel the same for Westly.

He was much too co-operative to Arni for my tastes. He fails to answer questions about California finances. Sen Boxer and the CA Democratic party convetnion endorsed Angelides. I recall how much of an azz kisser Westly was for Arni the first year. Impressed by TV ad propoganda? Not my first choice in making an informed decision.

2. He is my choice as well!

My b/f keeps asking why Angelides doesn't speak for himself... I wonder... it's always his daughters.

The first thing out of Westly's mouth is "I'm firmly pro-choice"... Damn fine way to start a TV ad!

4. I just worry whether Westly can beat Arnold. Otherwise, he seems

like a great guy!

5. he has shown that he's willing to spend his money to get the nomination

I'm willing to bet he's willing to spend to beat Ahnuld as well

he's not a vanity candidate like so many other millionaires who go into politics

I think he's trying to do something positive

6. Yes, but that's if you subscribe to the notion money/advertising is

what is necessary to nudge him over the top.

I'm not so confident, but I sure hope I'm wrong...

7. if you're not the incumbent, it's hard

and with Ahnuld's name recognition at like 1000%, he has to advertise to get his name out there

and we all know that takes money, especially in California

8. I understand what you're saying. I just worry that even if hypothetically

Westley were to out-spend "Ahruld," it would be enough.

But I hope I'm wrong!!!! Go Democrats!!!
