Davis is a lightweight spender compared to Bush.
On a per capita basis, Bush's federal deficits are 800% times those of Davis at his worst, but Davis has since
slashed quite a bit of spending. If he slashes more, then schools, hospitals and prisons start closing, police and fireman get laid off, etc.

McClintock for instance has cuts in mind which deny 125,000 kids college and 110,000 kids kindergarden. Some urban hospitals are already teetering at the edge of bankrupcy. Any cuts there could close them down. The GOP also wants to cut environmental protection of course and let the enrergy thieves back into power.

I believe Davis will eke out a win. Arnold will beat Bustamante but it won't matter. By the end of his term, Davis will be a looking a lot better than he does now, especially the a Democrat in the White House who can fix our problems in Iraq and with the domestic economy.

Davis has very little to do with the current fiscal state of CA. Bush is by far the one to blame for all the budget deficits in all the states. That's like saying that the bubble burst in the rest of the country due to wall street corporate crime, sell side financial institution cooking the books and lies, hype and corporate greed, corporate price manipulation (Enron) and bubble valuations, Bush's huge tax cuts for the rich and jobs lost, causing deficits in all the states, but for California, the high tech capital of the world, it was all Davis fault. LOL.
