Ventura — Senator Tom McClintock today filed the necessary papers to become a candidate for Governor of California in the October 7 recall election.

What Tom McClintock Would Do on His First Day as Governor...

Rescind the tripling of the car tax
"The state's problems are not a shortage of revenue. AFTER the car tax was reduced and AFTER the dot-com collapse, and AFTER the state's revenues plunged, we're still taking in 25 percent more revenue than four years ago while the population and inflation combined have grown only 21 percent."

Void $42 billion in overpriced electricity contracts
"Those contracts were negotiated under a clear legal conflict of interest by Davis' chief negotiator. This governor won't stipulate to these simple facts because it would require him to admit wrongdoing. I'll certainly admit Davis has done some things wrong!"

Reform the workers compensation system
"[The Legislature] will have 30 days to enact Arizona's Workers Compensation law—slashing workers comp costs by 2/3. And if they fail in 30 days, I'll take it to the ballot and let them explain to the people why they refused to act while our job market was collapsing."

The Republicans have the top quality candidates!

Who do the Democrats have? Gray Davis and Bustamante!

Davis just announced he is running as a Republican!
So I take it the pragmatic Republicans can
embrace him now!

Because all that tax and spending etc...
ok since a Republican will now be doing it!

ROTFLMCAO! Did Davis make the party switch while wearing a Schwarzenegger mask? That would explain a great many things. ; )

Don't those freaks just make you wanna barf ? It's like their mamas dropped them on their heads as kiddies.

Thanks for posting the official press release!

Tom has a great plan for his first day in office. I hope the word gets out to nonpolitical regular folks, too.

I think Tom's got a great chance once the new-ness of Arnold wears off and he has to take stands on the issues. Plus, and this is ugly, but once the Mulholund smut machine cranks out its libel on him, it might look less appealing...

Bob has nothing on McClintock though, which is why the media is trying desperately to bury his name. They all get Bob and Gary South's faxes.

The bottom line is these guys who support
Arnold, would support Davis is Davis only
had the Republican lable on him.
Everything else could stay the same.

Which is what would be the case with Arnold.
