[Roscoe]

"Hoping to test what may be a new climate of compromise surrounding illegal immigration, U.S. Rep. Howard Berman (D-Mission Hills) plans to introduce legislation today to offer legal status to illegal-immigrant students who want to attend college."

Funny thing is, Berman arranged to have large numbers of hispanic surnamed voters gerrymandered out of his district before the last election so he could hold on to his seat.

Perenchio/187, Buffett/13.

Doesn't look good.

They said that War Admiral couldn’t be beat and shouldn't have to run a race against the likes of Seabiscuit. Let me assure everyone that I am one horse that is in this race to the finish line.

YES! Don't worry Tom, that idea is already in the works, and will be showing up on FR very soon! God I love this guy, somebody I can actually relate to.

FYI, I just contributed to my first ever political campaign a few minutes ago. $100 to Tom McClintock for Governor!

[Walkin Man]

So, his conservative credentials at this point seem to be that he probably won't raise taxes, unless he has to.

And of course he will have to, for the children.

[PeoplesRep_of_LA]

Great info about who else that guy contributed to, mind if I borrow it?

p.s.

[A CA Guy]

So McC the spoiler marches on for Cruz Bustamante!

[Roscoe]

Feel free. You can look donor info up on http://www.tray.com .

The Jerry Perenchio Living Trust gave the Cruz Bustamante campaign $35,000 in the 1998 general election.

Perenchio, the most notorious opponent of Proposition 187 in the state of California, was appointed as an "adviser" to Arnold today.

[A CA Guy]

Well you can see what a real leader and life changer Arnold is, because Arnold is Pro 187 and was at their celebration get together weeks ago.
I am glad you pointed out what a leader Arnold is to everybody and that he is making a change on Perenchio.

If Mr 4% McC could have that kind of effect among the CA public, he could be elected by as early as 2012!

[A CA Guy]

Yes, go Tom go, it's time to leave and not get Cruz Bustamante elected.

[Roscoe]

And an anti-227 leader.

Unz used California's liberal initiative process once before, in 1998, when he invested $752,000 of his own money in a $1.2 million campaign to end bilingual education programs in California. Passage of Proposition 227, English for the Children, by 61 percent -- following a campaign in which both political parties and all candidates for governor opposed the initiative -- raised Unz's political profile considerably and solidified his reputation as a maverick and a bit of a braggart. "Bilingual education has never worked in 30 years," he says evenly. "If I hadn't come along, it would still be there."

Proposition 25 is partly motivated by Unz's experience in that campaign. In the final days before the election, Unz was nearly blindsided by a last-minute infusion of money used to flood the airwaves with hard-hitting television ads against his initiative. It wasn't until after the election that he discovered the effort was underwritten by A. Jerrold Perenchio, the conservative owner of the Spanish-language Univision TV network.

If Mr 4%

12% in today's LAT poll. Arnold's down to 22% and sliding.

[Roscoe]

"A former Hollywood producer and partner of Norman Lear... Perenchio's biggest expenditure was $1.5 million to defeat Proposition 227, the anti-bilingual initiative overwhelmingly approved by voters."

That's where the RINOs roam.
