steve, anyone know Soros's latest price tag on his contributions? Considering that Dems just about everything that was contested, the money did not buy much. Joe

Steve, more on Henry T. Nicholas and Prop. 66. Nicholas called a local radio station here thanking them for bringing up the issue one day when he tuned into their station. He sounded downright humble and thankful to the "John and Ken show," which to me was quite interesting. A former CEO and co-founder of Broadcom, and there he was praising the work of a couple of Limbaugh-like shock jocks. "Citizen Nicholas" comes to mind. Hence the reason why the push against Prop. 66 came so late. It was flying under the radar until Nicholas decided to fund millions to stop it. Joined by the Governator, who until then was focusing his energies on Prop. 68 and 70 (local casino initiatives), he also got the support of law enforcement, DAs, and every living former governor of California, including the ousted Gray Davis. On the other side was the sponsor of the initiative, insurance brokerage owner Jerry Keenan who wanted his son released early (two counts of vehicular manslaughter), John Sperling, founder of the University of Phoenix, and of course, George Soros. These were the same guys who helped legalize "medical marijuana" in 1996. Tenchusatsu
