Here is Rich Galen's advice to Arnold on that problem. * Schwarzenegger will not be a shoo-in. Remember that the state Attorney General warned Davis last week that he would not sit still for the kind of negative campaign that Davis ran against Riordan and Simon last Fall. I'm not sure what the AG has in mind for an "or else" but it was a public acknowledgement that Davis is one of the dirtiest fighters since Tyson nipped a piece of Holyfield's ear. * California Conservatives were the driving force behind the recall; but if the idea was to take control of the Governor's office - and state spending - then putting aside the traditional Right v. Centrist battles which have become the trademark of California Republican politics for the greater good will be vital. * I have several pieces of advice for Arnold: * Stay away from semi-colons and subsections. The Democrats and the media notwithstanding, you are not expected - by the voters - to be an expert in the state budgeting process. The people who created the $38 Billion deficit are the experts. Look where it got them. * When someone suggests you don't have the background or training to be Governor, refer to suggestion 1. * Democrats - and the media - will attempt to trap you into details of solving the budget crisis. They will present you with a daily dose of a "Hobson's Choice" - options which will disappoint, offend, or anger one group or another no matter what you say. * There are difficult choices to me made, but you don't have to make them in the first 36 hours of your campaign. * Nevertheless, Californians want to be assured you are taking this seriously. You must talk about the future in real terms. Build a team of sophisticated experts - from academia, business, and labor - to flesh out details of your "Bring Business Back" campaign. * The people of the State of California are not looking for a CPA. They are looking for a leader. mullings.com
