Change "Arnold" to "George (Pataki)" and all of your comments perfectly describe New York since Patakifeller came to power. Of course, many Freepers still defend King George, saying that if not for him "Hillary will run the state!"
Spitzer in 2006. That's a prediction, not an endorsement.
You mean having Pataki (R) in office does absolutely NOTHING to "help" Bush carry NY in 2004? How ever can that be? He has a "R" to his name and will be endorsing Bush, surely that will cause all NY residents to rush out and vote Republican. And what about redistricting? Shouldn't the Republicans be snatching more seats in the legislature thanks to a REPUBLICAN governor at the helm, fighting the 'RATs on the state level. How come it hasn't happened?
I haven't even shown the worse case scenario under Gov George H. Ryan (Satan-IL) Ol' George is currently touring the planet, now saying he favors abolition of the death penalty WORLDWIDE. Gee, so much for the excuse that he put a moritorium in because of the "fatal flaws" in the ILLINOIS system. The state GOP won't even speak his name in public anymore. Sometimes I wonder if we have a state GOP left, seeing as how all those great Republican "patronage jobs" were all George's corrupt buddies that are now either under indictment or already in prison for fraud, embezzlement, perjury, obstruction of justice....
