The Cal. recall is going to be a lot more difficult that the GOP thinks. for one thing, look at the spending cuts they want to make. Cutting kindergarden, cutting cops and firemen, closing hospitals, laying off tens of thousands of people. And for what? All to avoid a modest tax which is the same vehicle charge Pete Wilson was charging when he was in office? Nobody likes taxes but every state is facing this now, Bush's deficits are 35X Davi's and he didn't get attacked by the Texas energy bandits in 2000. Arnold S. looks to have a hit with T3. That may stop him from wanting to run. If it were a flop he might give up acting, but since it's a success, he would be giving up 40 million bucks a year by going into politics. Arnold is more about ego and money than he is about politics. He also knows the Sacramento job would be a major headache. And his personal life would be scrutinized, going back to the days when he was a steroid dealer, the biggest in LA.

Cailfornia has a chance to corner it's anti-American northern region again, and keep them from harming the nation as they have consistently done since the late 80's. The emerging Hispanic middle class wants to vote, while the freshly-arrived poor Hispanics aren't interested. A savvy Republican party will profit from that, as those middle-class Hispanic voters are virulently pro-education (i.e. educational CHOICE), anti-tax (i.e, entrepreneurial), and anti-crime (i.e, they want protection from the insane, illiterate low-income segment of the black community-with their gangs, drugs, prostitution and killings-all paid for by being a 95%-reliable Democrat political machine.) The emerging Hispanic middle class, in other words, wants admission to the dream, and is earning it. Failure by the California Republican party to recognize this and provide that vehicle-which is the PURPOSE of political parties in America-will indicate that they deserve to be where they are-on the bottom. With Bush in charge nationally, there is NO WAY the California party can claim they aren't getting the message. (I actually think they will succeed, but we'll see.)...
