Good Luck, Jim!
As one of your major contributors ($1) I'd like to extend my best wishes for
you in the vote today. Rich S. |

And I will post a list of my major contributors ($1) tomorrow after the hoopla
has all died down. I may not win, but I'm not going to lose, either. Both General Aviation and California Education had a champion with a bully pulpit the last ten weeks. If only ten percent of the people I had as an audience with radio and TV got the message, it was worth every second and every penny of it. Thank you all for coming along on the ride...and now I gotta go teach until ten tonight.

As another major contributor, I am shocked and bitterly disappointed
that you didn't win. OTOH Jay Leno, David Letterman, Conan O'Brien and John Stewart are probably thrilled that Arnold is going to be Governor. I wonder how long before the CA citizens realize what they 've done to themselves and start another recall? - J.O.- On Tue, 07 Oct 2003 13:47:31 -0700, Jim Weir wrote: And I will post a list of my major contributors ($1) tomorrow after the hoopla has all died down.

According to Bob Mulholland and Terry McAuliffe, they have $3 million and will start gathering signatures tomorrow. I doubt it's going to work. The laws been on the books since 1910 or so, and there have been something like 60 attempts to recall gov's that haven't gotten enough votes to get an election. Between Arnold and McClintock, Republicans got 60% of the votes. Davis was the perfect recallable candidate - he was widely hated by the office holders in his own party, had no personal charm at all, was a complete failure as a leader, was widely thought of as corrupt, and didn't rise to the occasion of any problems the state faced. At the very least, Arnold is likeable and isn't corrupt. The REAL fun starts tomorrow, when Davis starts signing emergency legislation. Any guess as to how big a pension he's going to give himself and the current legislators? |

First of all, Arnold is anything but a typical republican. Second, the whole issue was about trying to do something about business as usual, not about putting a republican in the governor's office. The real fun won't start tomorrow with Davis doing anything. The real fun starts with the criminal cases generated by the sexual harassment and assault cases. You think those 15 women are going to let the issue drop? Don't think so. I'm also surprised that the media didn't seem to take note that along with the accusations of admiring Hitler there was a little known fact that didn't get much media attention: Arnold's father was a brownshirt Nazi during WWII, and he wasn't forced to wear the uniform. |

"Richard Riley" wrote in message ... Between Arnold and McClintock, Republicans got 60% of the votes. Bad idea to assume that this was a vote for republicans. First of all, Arnold is anything but a typical republican. McClintock WAS a typical Republican, though. Factor in the folks who wanted to vote for him but voted for Arnold as more electable, the large turnout, and you might possibly be seeing a sea change in CA politics. The Democratic party is imploding. Their 2004 strategy - tax increases - was just repudiated. Second, the whole issue was about trying to do something about business as usual, not about putting a republican in the governor's office. If that's the case, why did Arianna and the porn star fare so poorly? The real fun won't start tomorrow with Davis doing anything. The real fun starts with the criminal cases generated by the sexual harassment and assault cases. You think those 15 women are going to let the issue drop? Don't think so. Sure, the Dems are gonna backroll them all the way to court, just to try to keep the new governor distracted. Of course, the judge will throw them out one by one. Even Davis' "emergency" appointees will have to do that when there's no credible evidence. I'm also surprised that the media didn't seem to take note that along with the accusations of admiring Hitler there was a little known fact that didn't get much media attention: Arnold's father was a brownshirt Nazi during WWII, and he wasn't forced to wear the uniform. And your point would be...? What did YOUR father do in the war? Does that define who you are? B. F. D. ---- Jim - Thanks for being a voice for GA! |
