I still have some reservations on Ahhnie. Mainly because he's been evasive on issues. How do we know we're not electing Ray Duray's clone? Even Arianna Over my dead body. Uberroth and McClintock are quality candidates in addition to Arnold on the republican side. McClintock is "pro-life". Strongly. Did you know that? Simon doesn't even come close to measuring up. Simon is roadkill. He has a bill against the H1-B, there is another bill for the L-series visa from a democrat so I don't think visa elimination is a partisan issue. It takes courage for a republican to take a position against visas because their big govt lobbies are for them, so good for Tancredo. Yep. AND the big agribusiness interests in this state don't want the flow of illegal aliens from Mexico interrupted.

Hi Lizzie, I heard something on talk radio over the weekend that I'm wondering if you can confirm or comment on this. Re: "(Schwarzenegger) almost single-handedly passed Proposition 49, an initiative that calls for $550 million in state funds for after-school child-care programs." -- From Laz Long Apparently, Arnold was very keen on this Proposition 49, but not so interested in how it was to be paid for. It has most of the obnoxious features of an "unfunded mandate", in that it requires these after-school programs be provided, but does not come up with a funding mechanism. If this is Schwarzenegger's idea of how to run the state budget, then California may be getting ready to move from the frying pan to the fire. Have you heard anything about how fiscally irresponsible Proposition 49 is? The caller on the talk show insisted that the counties and school boards were having to rob funding from other valuable programs in order to fund the mandates of Prop 49. That doesn't strike me as a good governmental model.
