Ken, Bravo on the non-read of coulter and franken. Me too and i am sure we can add a lot more to put on media ignore. There are just too many idiots out there in the media--republican blonds and liberal nerds stand out. btw Carville was on Imus this morning pushing his new book and it seems James has calmed down a bit and eschews his party's penchant for name calling as their position vis a vis bush. He even said he liked bush. I am trying to do the same with the dems. I think the hilary position on iraq which probably mimics yours and mine (when i get worried about this admins competence)as well as biden, bayh, mccain) far outshines that of algore and dean. Mike

California Insider A Weblog by Sacramento Bee Columnist Daniel Weintraub December 11, 2003 He will get the votes The big question about the bond-and-reserve deal emerging today in the Legislature is how Schwarzenegger is going to get Republicans to vote for it. He’s given up the formula-driven spending limit they wanted as a way to control the growth of government over time, settling instead for what he said he wanted all along: a balanced budget amendment and a new rainy-day fund to prevent the state from ever again digging a hole this deep. But Schwarzenegger will get the votes. He will probably get the minimum he needs for the bond and more than that for the reserve requirement. On the bond, he will tell Republicans that without it, he will almost certainly have to raise taxes, and rejecting it would leave the state without a safety net should the courts strike down the legally questionable defict bond Gray Davis approved last summer. On the bill creating the reserve requirement, he won’t be asking Republicans to vote for anything they find abhorrent. They just won’t be getting all that they would like. Big difference, when it comes to deciding whether to say no to a governor in your own party on something he really wants. sacbee.com
