"It also has given Republicans renewed hope for a return to political power in the nation's largest state after losing every statewide office in last November's election for the first time in more than 100 years."

Republicans take heed. We have a chance and a choice. We saw the winning formula to retake CA: Arnold.
We can nominate moderate Republicans and WIN, or "radical conservatives" (using Reagan's term for them), who have zero chance to win in CA, and let the Dems rule the most important state in the USA, after all, California is the WORLD's 5th largest economy.

Will you vote to approve Arnold's plan to issue $20 billion in bonds that turn that debt into $40 billion over the life of the bonds and saddle the next generation with payments to cover the betrayal of public trust that has occured in Sacramento in the last 5 years?

Another interesting article, which I have seen ignored by those too anxious to bash Arnold over his choice of the guy to head the EPA.
A Delicate Balance on State EPA Appointees. Schwarzenegger names a lumber executive No. 2. of EPA
"But the governor-elect turned in a different direction for the agency's No. 2 slot, naming James Branham, government affairs chief at Pacific Lumber and an official in former Gov. Pete Wilson's administration, as Cal-EPA's undersecretary. Schwarzenegger appointed another onetime Wilson official, Los Angeles attorney Maureen Gorsen, as the agency's deputy secretary. "

We can nominate moderate Republicans and WIN
Was Matt Fond a "radical conservative"? No , he was a moderate Republican -- and he LOST to Barbara Boxer. Is Tom Campbell a "radical conservative"? No, he's a moderate Republican -- and he LOST to Dianne Feinstein. Is John Seymour a "radical conservative"? No, he's a moderate Republican, and he LOST to Dianne Feinstein -- even thought Seymour was the incumbent.
In short, fairopinion, you're ignorant, and people shouldn't listen to you if they care about facts instead of phoney baloney.

Schwarzenegger names health care chief, deputy legal secretary
Friday, November 14, 2003
(11-14) 18:20 PST SACRAMENTO (AP) --
S. Kimberly Belsh De, a former official in Gov. Pete Wilson's administration, was appointed Friday as health and human services secretary by Gov.-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Belsh De, 43, served as Wilson's director of the California Department of Health Services and later as deputy secretary for the California Health and Welfare Agency.
"Kimberly is a leader in the health care field, and I am confident that her public sector and philanthropic experience with issues affecting the health and well being Californians will be an asset to my administration," said Schwarzenegger in a statement.
But some social advocates criticize Belsh De for her performance in the Wilson administration. "She did everything she could to cut eligibility for disabled and poor children," said Jamie Court, executive director of the Foundation for Taxpayer and Consumer Rights.
The incoming governor also appointed Paul H. Dobson as his chief deputy legal affairs secretary.
Dobson, 57, is a veteran of the attorney general's office. He has also worked at the Sacramento firm of Neilsen, Merksamer, Parrinello, Mueller & Naylor.

Schwarzenegger is considering a long-term $20 billion or larger bond for the March ballot to get the state's debt under control.
Arnold inherited a state with massive debt, high unemployment, and a less than rosey future. The ratio of private to public economics is one of the lowest in the nation. Simply, cutting back on government jobs, "aka welfare for work" would pitch the state into a massive depression and be political suicide.
