"It will be the year of low expectations," said Garry South, a Democratic consultant who served under former Gov. Gray Davis. "And those probably won't even be met."

The longer Arnold stays in office, the better Gray Davis looks. Who'd have thought it?

Carry_Okie did, many times right here on FR!!! Many of us cheered him on when he said it, too!!!

Unfortunately, there were way too many fearful FReepers who were too sore afraid of Dems Bustamante and Angelides to join us in supporting a real fiscally conservative Republican named Tom McClintock.

So now we sit here in a destitute, debt ridden state on Christmas 2007. Thanks a lot you frightened, flinchin FReepers... Thanks a lot and, well... Merry Christmas to you too!!!

I was one Republican who kept telling the CA-GOP in private emails to not recall Davis. California’s problems were so insurmountable and systemic that it would have been best to keep Davis in office and then hang the state and its problems around the DNC’s neck like a millstone.

But the GOP wouldn’t listen. Noooooo. They wanted a highly visible governor.

And now, the GOP owns the problems that have no solutions - save one: the failure of the CA government.
