It looks like Californians received only a three-day reprieve from the assault of negative political ads on TV.

A source who has seen the ads tells me today that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger will go on the air tomorrow with six days and $30 million worth of ads attacking Democrat Phil Angelides. The ad opens with a seagull walking backwards on a beach, and asserts that by electing Angelides Californians would be taking the state backwards -- back to the bad old days before the recall.

The only question now: How long will it take the Angelides' campaign, depleted by its primary battle against Steve Westly to respond?
