Asked at a gas-station press conference last Thursday about his proposal to use the state PUC to regulate gasoline prices ... Bustamante, who co-authored the disastrous electric-power deregulation scheme ... shed little light beyond the soundbite for Labor Day weekend drivers. “This is an important commodity, and it should be regulated for the people,” he intoned, then made a brief stab at answering the actual question by noting that “even wharfage is a regulated utility.” ... “There are oil refineries in California,” said Bustamante, who also noted that “there is not enough strategic reserve,” then retreated back to boilerplate about gasoline as “a very important commodity that must be regulated for the people.”

I see long lines and high prices in Bustamante's California.

Fudd: Yep, and note that even the Weekly doesn't think that's gonna fly.

Gubamyster, I agree with you about Cruz' political orientation - but the Weekly thinks anyone right of Ralph Nader is a conservative. They are probably referring to his voting record in Fresno, which may have been simply a response to his consituents.

Anyone know what his voting record actually is?

He may be running to the left just because that's a reasonable winning formula in this election.
