You have described someone who is good at investing. You have NOT described one who is a "fiscal conservative" as far as government goes.

He opposed the tax cuts. He opposed the dividend tax cut. He opposes the repeal of the inheritance tax.

I can understand the comments that some have made here that he knows about the bond market and the electricity mess, but he is not a fiscal conservative.

If there is to be a large number of financial types who will advise on how to keep California's bond ratings from tanking, and who can figure out a way to straighten out the energy fiasco, I could understand Buffet being at the head of a committee for that purpose.

But Buffett is a democrat, and I do not trust him.

I don't either, but it could be Arnold cosmetically padding his resume. Who knows. Buffet is a darling of Wall Street and does bring some cache within the Wall Street circles.

Does anybody know if Steve Forbes has politically condemned Warren Buffet?

Although I favor Tom McClintock, all signs were pointing to the imminent election of Schwarzenegger, and I was truly, honestly holding out some hope that his viewings of "Free to Choose" would kick it, and he would take on the state budget with a cleaver.

Sadly, I have pretty much lost any hope of that today.

Buffett is indeed a DemocRAT, and a rather nasty one at that.
