"Richard Riley" wrote in message ... Between Arnold and McClintock, Republicans got 60% of the votes. Bad idea to assume that this was a vote for republicans. First of all, Arnold is anything but a typical republican. McClintock WAS a typical Republican, though. Factor in the folks who wanted to vote for him but voted for Arnold as more electable, the large turnout, and you might possibly be seeing a sea change in CA politics. The Democratic party is imploding. Their 2004 strategy - tax increases - was just repudiated. Second, the whole issue was about trying to do something about business as usual, not about putting a republican in the governor's office. If that's the case, why did Arianna and the porn star fare so poorly? The real fun won't start tomorrow with Davis doing anything. The real fun starts with the criminal cases generated by the sexual harassment and assault cases. You think those 15 women are going to let the issue drop? Don't think so. Sure, the Dems are gonna backroll them all the way to court, just to try to keep the new governor distracted. Of course, the judge will throw them out one by one. Even Davis' "emergency" appointees will have to do that when there's no credible evidence. I'm also surprised that the media didn't seem to take note that along with the accusations of admiring Hitler there was a little known fact that didn't get much media attention: Arnold's father was a brownshirt Nazi during WWII, and he wasn't forced to wear the uniform. And your point would be...? What did YOUR father do in the war? Does that define who you are? B. F. D. ---- Jim - Thanks for being a voice for GA! |

My pleasure. I'd do it again tomorrow in a heartbeat. Well Jim..... I'm sure it was quite the experience for you to go through something like that, and I'm sure there are a few people here who would be interested in your comments as to what it was like. I know all the ballots might not be counted, but out of curiousity how many votes did you get. Are you considering running for one of the state offices in the next election. LAST NITE...... On one of the talk shows a young man in his late teens was being interviewed. He had run for some civic office (mayor perhaps) and won the election ( I do believe ). When asked how HE DID IT.... His response was that he went door to door. If you declared yourself as an candidate for a certain office in the next election and spent some time working the phones, doors, streets, etc., and kept in touch with your media contacts that you have made, you just might be surprised at how often you are contacted by the media on slow news days. Locally, you have the advantage of having your feet wet, coupled with some first hand knowledge of how the system works. Don't be afraid to capitalize on that experience. Up here in Canada I have had the interesting experience of being a campaign manager on four federal elections over the years and I can't stress the importance of declaring yourself early and getting out and knocking on doors. You don't need a platform, just be in a listening mode, asking your future constituents what's on their minds. Show serious interest now and you might be surprised at how many people will remember you favourably as the person at their doors years, and months before the election was called. In any event, for you it was the exerience of a lifetime, something to brag to the grandkids about. But if you do want to get elected locally the best advice I could ever give you is to buy a comfortable pair of walking shoes, go door to door, make media contacts and stay in touch with them. I do believe that when Hillary Clinton was elected her first comments were to remark on how many pantsuits and shoes she had worn out. Nobody gave her a chance when she started the race and look where she is today. |

"Corrie" wrote in message om... McClintock WAS a typical Republican, though. And look how far he got. Nuff said. A real conservative with a real conservative agenda got more votes than an incumbent Democrat. Nuff said indeed. If that's the case, why did Arianna and the porn star fare so poorly? I'll leave that to your overactive imagination. IOW, your argument (that this was only about changing business-as-usual) is bogus, and you know it. Sure, the Dems are gonna backroll them all the way to court... They'll gravitate there on their own. Or do you assume that all women are dems? No, of course not. The really smart women are Republicans, because they know that a conservative agenda is truly pro-woman. But it'll be interesting to see whether these anonymous, 11th-hour smearmeisters continue. Funny how you excoriate Arnold but excuse Slick Willy. And your point would be...? What did YOUR father do in the war? Does that define who you are? B. F. D. It does when it turns out you were in agreement with his moral values. Got proof? Or are you willing to be sued for LIBEL? Because that statement is libelous, pure and simple. Put up or shut up, pendejo. |

OK, so I won't support him. I repudiate him. Does that help? |
