I'm not whining; I'm afraid for the Republic. If Teddy Kennedy gets a foothold here, we're doomed. You must not live in CA or you'd be pitchin' a hissy fit, too.

Saundra, Arnold is smart enough to know that Teddy's politics are a thing of the past. Seems he's playing this very wisely. He needs to get things done and he's throwing everyone a bone. There's nothing wrong with that. The majority of people in the state are moderates, they're not Conservatives.

Arnold is not even sworn in yet, so it's too early to panic, and being afraid doesn't accomplish anything. Besides, the GOP in California has been losing ground in recent years. Let's see how Arnold does as governor.

Well, if you're worried about that, Maria Shriver's relationship to the governor-elect must have you breaking out in hives. My advice: Don't play this six-degrees of separation game, and don't panic. His appointments have been a mix, haven't they?
