California is about to make a huge mistake in reelecting Gov. Schwarzenegger. It’s like watching a train rushing headlong toward a bridge that has collapsed into a ravine:
State Treasurer Phil Angelides has failed to narrow Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger’s double-digit lead in the contest for governor, and Californians are leaning toward approval of all but one of the $43 billion in bond measures on the state’s Nov. 7 ballot, according to a poll released Wednesday…
In the race for governor, the poll found Schwarzenegger leading Angelides by 48 percent to 30 percent — statistically unchanged from the institute’s survey last month.
Angelides continues to suffer from lackluster support among Democrats despite his recent moves to spur enthusiasm among voters in his own party, according to the poll.
He has pledged to demand the return of California National Guard troops from the war in Iraq. He has hammered Schwarzenegger for supporting President Bush’s reelection in 2004. And he has run a TV ad telling viewers he was inspired to enter politics by the drive to dump another Republican president, Richard Nixon.
Yet the poll found that just 57 percent of Democrats back Angelides. Even in the Bay Area, the state’s most solidly Democratic stronghold, Schwarzenegger has pulled slightly ahead of his challenger.
By contrast, Schwarzenegger held 86 percent of the Republican vote. Independents, a crucial swing group, favored Schwarzenegger over Angelides by 43 percent to 24 percent.

For all the touted “talent” concentrated in California, it is strange indeed that they elected one of the KEY FIGURES IN THE LAY/BUSH/SCHWARTZNEGGER/CABAL THAT STOLE BILLIIONS FROM CALIFORNIA in the greatest energy rape of ALL HISTORY….These folks are even dimmer of wit than the rednecks of TEXAS who are the ones who stole California’s BIG BUCK from little old ladies and bragged about it! WHAT A BUNCH Of LACK-WIT FOOLS!
Maybe Texas and California BOTH will soon sink beneath the rising seas….and good riddance to both!
Why exaactly is this a surprise? In California, celebrity ALWAYS beats out logic, common sense, or even cold hearted intelligence. Ahnuld is Mr. Celebrity-Angelides is Mr. Politician-we have one of the most fickle, and foolish electorate of the country and we should never forget that.
