Ahnold's approval ratings seem to be tracking W's lately. If you don't know, though, we have a "special election" coming up tomorrow. That's the same kind of special election that brought us Ahnold a while back. He didn't want to wait to a regular election to try to push through a set of propositions for his so-called reform agenda. Propositions are what we use out here so the legislature doesn't have to make any difficult decisions. My general philosophy is to vote NO on everything, but occasionally I will get sucked into one, such as the stem cell research that is currently undergoing legal challenges in a thinly disguised effort by the religious right to tie things up. Sigh. I figured I can violate the no politics rule when it's about a state that all of you consider to be looney anyway.
One interesting and annoying phenomenon this time around has been the number of recorded messages coming our way. So far we've heard from Ahnold himself, Sen. Barbara Boxer, Sen. John McCain, a distraught mother whose daughter had an abortion without telling her and feels a spankin' new law is just the trick to fix things, and today... Warren Beatty. It's pretty sad when you listen to the news and find that Arnold Schwarzenegger, Warren Beatty, and Rob Reiner would be in a three way tie if an election was held today. Personally I'm holding out for Martin Sheen. Or maybe Alan Alda or Jimmy Smits or Geena Davis.

Wow I thought hearing from Kilgore was exciting. Why do Cal and N Y politics always seem more interesting than Va. ?
