State Sen. Abel Maldonado, who represents parts of the central coast and Silicon Valley and is running for state controller, predicted that conservatives would coalesce behind Schwarzenegger because they realize that not to do so would hand the governor's office to the Democrats.

"Here you have a guy who did what these folks wanted," Maldonado said in an interview. "He eliminated the vehicle license fee. He fixed workers' compensation. He reduced the deficit. He cut spending."

I guess you will be voting against Maldonado too.

Heck, Im not 100% enamored of him.

I await the results of the San Jose state convention before deciding.

I may just not vote at all or not for all those sanctioned by the Gop anyway. Their record is not that hot of late in case you haven't noticed in who and how they back candidates and on what basis.

That is still legal, I hope?

He reduced the deficit. He cut spending.

He also increased borrowing and plays the smoke and mirrors game just like the Gub we recalled not so long ago.


Abel does seem to have a tendency to stretch things a bit, if ya wanna get picky. ;-)

One other little tidbit,, Maldonado is the one who introduced the legislation for the Minimum Wage increase, SB1167.

Anyone who can't see that we haven't cut spending and continue to grow the deficit isn't fit to be Controller.

Luckily, there will be a primary contest for Controller so we have a choice. Strickland looks better every day.
