I think the LA Times outed themselves and many people are "getting it" now. Seems to me that the LA Times slime fest actually galvanized the Arnold supporters.

The press is so out of touch, it's unbelieveable. Nothing pleases me more than to see the press SLAMMED!

You are so right about the LA Times smear fest. Being from Minnesota, I remember clearly the results after the Wellstone FuneRally. I seriously doubt though, that they will learn a lesson from this. People are sick of the politics of personal destruction.

One item the polls didn't take into effect is the Jesse factor. Here in Minnesota the polls were running Humphrey 1st, Coleman 2nd and Jesse Ventura 3rd. The big liberal media outlets here even sent their most senior political reporters to Humphrey's campaign HQ for the post election celebration. Too bad for them they came in 3rd LOL!

None of the polls took into effect the first time young voters who came out in droves for Ventura. I suspect the same thing is true in California this time around.
