I don't care about Gore. When Bush was elected I thought Bush and Gore were basically the same animal, moderate. I think that is what the voters thought too. Bush turned out to be something quite different. Bush will go down on these economic issues in 04 though and maybe we can get somebody in there who can lead (anybody).

How come you guys aren't crowing about Bush's sky high approval ratings anymore? I think Bush will have a fight on his hands in 04. Nobody in the WH thought democratic PRIMARY outside candidates would be raising 15 million, I can tell you that for sure.

Warren Buffett to Run Schwarzenegger Race
8/13/2003 3:29:00 PM

LOS ANGELES, Aug 13, 2003-- Arnold Schwarzenegger has hired Warren Buffett as his senior financial and economic adviser, his campaign announced Wednesday.

Buffett is a billionaire investor legendary for his financial prowess. The chairman of Berkshire Hathaway is also a Democrat.

"What he will be doing is assembling other prominent business leaders and economists and setting up a team to address the issues facing California," said Schwarzenegger spokesman Sean Walsh.

"I have known Arnold for years and know he'll be a great governor. It is critical to the rest of the nation that California's economic crisis be solved, and I think Arnold will get that job done," Buffett said in a statement.

Buying at low prices into well-known, solid companies, Buffett built Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire into a huge conglomerate with a market value of more than $80 billion that owns insurance, restaurant, furniture and shoe companies. Buffett generally avoids high-tech companies, arguing he cannot tell which will be usurped by advances in technology.
