Who was it that said McClintock is the new SoreLoserman?

Won't really matter- only voters can approve this kind of bond issuance. The only difference is when- March 2004 or November 2004.
IMO, this mught just be wonderful. Now Arnold has lots of ammo to lay off, close down, cut back, and closely review each and every position, commission and it's members, ETC. It might be just exactly what will help Calif the most. Costs have to be cut, IMO, not just more bond floats.

Like someones tag line says, "socialism works just fine until you run out of someone elses money."

I'm not familiar with California legislature procedures. Is there some sort of strategery by abstaining versus voting for, or against? Maybe the Republicans are simply sitting on the sidelines and letting the Democrats and the Governator battle it out?

The bond measure was bad policy, and McClintock had vowed to vote against it for that reason since Arnold proposed it.
