Funny how you forgot to mention Enron's ties to Clinton and the democrats... Seems you frequently leave out facts...

There's no need to lie about Davis. The truth is quite bad enough.

Now you have a situation where, like most states, the governor and state assembly are faced with an awful choice. Either cut police, firemen, schools, health care or raise taxes.
Know something? That is PRECISELY the situation that large state surplus that Greyout Davis blew was supposed to cover.

Davis is cutting as much as he feels be can without endangering public safety.
Which is absolute crap. Cops and firefighters are getting laid off to save the jobs of teachers and prison guards. Who just coincidentally happen to be large contributors to his campaigns.

...Davis won fair and square.

You forgot to mention the negative ad campaign that Davis waged against Riordan prior to the Republican primary. Was that fair and square?

You also forgot to mention that Davis took political contributions from Enron and that there were a number of people on his staff and on his energy boards who owned considerable amounts of stock in Enron.

Since 1996, Davis has received $119,500 from Enron, including $42,500 since becoming governor. Davis has said he will not return any money, but adds he no longer accepts campaign contributions from energy brokers or generators.
