Ted, To run a nurse's union, you don't have to be a nurse but rather a good administrator who is familiar with labor law. I guess I have a problem with career union bosses, just like I have a problem with career politicians. Seems like they're there just to advance their political careers. Representing the will of their constituents is just a means to that end, not the end itself. Davis understood how it works in CA..........Arnold sadly does not. I'm afraid he's about to get his butt kicked. Davis was actually part of the problem, given how much expenditures have grown by leaps and bounds under his watch. Of course, those were during the "good times," so anyone could have made the same mistake Davis did. As for Arnold, I think the media is overplaying his demise simply because of the poll numbers, which to me are more reflective of the pessimistic state of the nation rather than due to anything specific with Arnold himself. Of course, unions are declaring victory as Arnold backs off on a number of his proposals, but I'm pretty sure in the end, Arnold will get enough done to shake things up in Sacramento. Tenchusatsu
