Gov. Schwarzenegger’s opponent Democrat Phil Angelides won’t back down on his pledge to return California National Guard troops stationed in Iraq. Angelides spoke at an anti-war rally attended by about 200 people at Sacramento City College Thursday.
Public opinion polls this week indicate Angelides trails Schwarzenegger by double digits.
Angelides expanded on his call for the return of California Guard troops, calling the Iraq war a fool’s errand and condemning Gov. Schwarzenegger for supporting the re-election of President Bush.
Despite a free lunch, fewer than 200 students attended the rally.
In a statement released by the Schwarzenegger campaign, Devore characterized Angelides’ call for the return of troops a political stunt.
“Phil Angelides’ proposal is clearly unconstitutional, and clearly an act of political desperation by a flailing campaign,” said Schwarzenegger Campaign Press Secretary Julie Soderlund.

Remember, if you are not getting out to actively vote FOR Arnold, you ARE voting FOR Angelides.
Angelides knows he's going to lose big, so he's going to pull a George McGovern.
This clown has to be the worse Democrat in the nation, if there is such a thing.

There is lots to contrast and compare between Arnold and Angelides:

Arnold actually did a lot, for which he doesn't seem to get any credit around here: he kept vetoing the drivers licenses for illegals, he was steadfast and did NOT raise taxes, despite the Dem pressure, he reformed workers comp, he kep CA from going bankrupts, by clever refinancing, he vetoed the homosexual marriage bill and several homosexual agenda bills, he vetoed the min wage several times and even now, when he signed it, he forced the Dem Legislature to take out the automatic inflation adjusted increases, which would have been a real killer for businesses, he also vetoed the healthcare bills requiring businesses to pay for health insurance of their workers, he vetoed the universal healthcare, aka CA government run socialized medicine -- this is just to name a few. A Dem governor would have done the opposite of all this, and we would have had a runaway socialist government in CA.
I think these are MAJOR accomplishments, given the circumstances.

Angie is California's answer to Ned Lamont.

Well, don't forget, Angie's invisible friends were probably there, so that makes it at least a couple dozen more...
