John, RE: "Polls"

I think you give voters too much credit. People vote according to their pocket books for the most part.

As soon as the gas prices went up, Bush became unpopular.

I don't like Bush, but I think we have to be honest here - the voters simply vote according to their pocketbook which is why eventually a Democracy is likely to bankrupt itself.

California passed a balanced budget law many years ago (before my arrival to Calif), so later on I was very puzzled to learn Calif had racked up debt. I'm not sure if this is true, but I had read somewhere that Calif govt was using loans as a way to balance their budget. Since when aren't loans counted as debt?

RE: ""Contrast that with Bush at 30% +/-. How the hell do we get this very dangerous guy out of office before he can do more damage"

Good question. Do no harm - is pretty hard for Bush.

Regards,
Amy J
