"As the president savors this month's election results and the promise of moving his agenda in the capital, the gubernatorial vote in California offers tantalizing clues for his 2004 re-election campaign," writes Ken Khachigian, who was an adviser to President Reagan and California Republican Govs. George Deukmejian and Pete Wilson.
"The outcome on the coast — despite a Democratic sweep — offers great opportunity for George W. Bush to turn the Golden State into a 'red' one," Mr. Khachigian said in an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal.
He noted that Democratic Gov. Gray Davis, backed by a huge war chest, was able to dispatch Republican rookie candidate Bill Simon by only 5 percentage points.
"While most post-election chatter suggests California remains hopelessly out of reach for Mr. Bush in the 2004 presidential election, these views rest on the naivete of political reporters and the wishful thinking of the left. As Karl Rove and team set up shop for re-election, they should turn a keen eye towards California returns. Great promise lies therein."
Most encouraging!!!!!!!!!
