His zigzagging from corrupt centrism to straightforward liberalism could end up creating more problems than it solves. He is, for example, on the verge of signing a piece of liberal landmark legislation that could inflame auto-loving Californians. AB 1493 "would make California the first state to regulate auto emissions of greenhouse gases to combat global warming," reports the Los Angeles Times. The bill has been bitterly opposed by the auto industry, which predicts that the law will lead to higher taxes and limit the types of vehicles Californians can drive. See this related piece for why I believe he will sign AB1493:
California: Pavley gets national attention after emissions bill approved (Clinton approves)
Also McCain and Kerry see the bill as a way to attack Bush!

Davis is caught between the proverbial rock and a hard place with this SUV bill. If he signs it, a lot of moderate voters (including the soccer-mom crowd, except they usually vote for Dems because they are not too bright anyway) are going to be pissed off; if he doesn't sign it, a lot of enviro-whackos are going to be pissed off. Either way, the fool loses something.
