The long-running animus between Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and state Republican Party pooh bahs was never more apparent than at last weekend's state GOP convention. One party official described the governor as a "kidney stone" that Republicans were waiting to pass. Another delegate offered a resolution that would have offered an official apology to former Gov. Gray Davis for putting him through a worthless recall election.
For his part, Schwarzenegger was in Washington, D.C., with the National Governors Conference, where he entertained the national media with criticisms of some of his fellow GOP governors' response to the federal stimulus package and with pointed criticism of Republican legislators in Sacramento who, in his view, would rather serve ideology than the people.
Now, Joe Mathews -- a former Los Angeles Times reporter and Schwarzenegger biographer -- reports that the governor's advisers recently held a formal discussion to consider whether Schwarzenegger should renounce his party affiliation and become an independent.
They rejected the idea, but don't be surprised if another discussion takes place in the run-up to next year's vote on the open primary. Schwarzenegger clearly wants to leave a legacy of political reform, and he and his team may yet decide he would be in a better position to promote that cornerstone reform as an independent.
The same reasoning may apply if talk of creating a constitutional convention ultimately produces a 2010 ballot measure to accomplish that.
The day after Arnold got elected to office and other Republicans didn't, they began blaming Arnold for their losses. What a bunch of whiners. Those that lost were right-wingers and didn't have a chance. Npw the same nutcases want to punish the six Republicans that actually worked for their constituents and the voters of CA. Get a clue!!! Time for change!
Hey! I admire your writing and the way you explain things. Some of the comments on here too are insightful. I appreciate you. keep it up!
I am not sure I agree with the last comment.
I enjoy visiting daily to see your musings. I have your page bookmarked on my favorite read list!
Great post, you have pointed out some excellent details , I too think this s a very superb website.
Hey there, precisely why decided not to any of a person a**holes explain to me personally of which Mary Arnold and Meatloaf include the exact same person?
Zune and iPod: Most people compare the Zune to the Touch, but after seeing how slim and surprisingly small and light it is, I consider it to be a rather unique hybrid that combines qualities of both the Touch and the Nano. It's very colorful and lovely OLED screen is slightly smaller than the touch screen, but the player itself feels quite a bit smaller and lighter. It weighs about 2/3 as much, and is noticeably smaller in width and height, while being just a hair thicker.
I don’t even know how I ended up here, but I thought this post was great. I don't know who you are but definitely you're going to a famous blogger if you are not already ;) Cheers!
I’ve recently started a web site, the info you provide on this site has helped me greatly. Thanks for all of your time & work.
Fantastic!!! What to add!?
Appreciate it for this post, I am a big big fan of this internet site would like to continue updated.
Super-Duper blog! I am loving it!! Will be back later to read some more. I am bookmarking your feeds also.
This design is wicked! You certainly know how to keep a reader entertained. Between your wit and your videos, I was almost moved to start my own blog (well, almost...HaHa!) Great job. I really loved what you had to say, and more than that, how you presented it. Too cool!
An additional issue is video games can be serious naturally with the key focus on learning rather than leisure. Although, it has an entertainment element to keep your young ones engaged, just about every game is frequently designed to work towards a specific set of skills or course, such as math concepts or technology. Thanks for your publication.
I got what you mean ,bookmarked , very decent site.
Thanks for another informative site. Where else could I get that kind of info written in such an ideal way? I've a project that I'm just now working on, and I have been on the look out for such info.
Thanks for this wonderful article. One other thing is that nearly all digital cameras come equipped with some sort of zoom lens that permits more or less of your scene being included through 'zooming' in and out. These kinds of changes in focus length are generally reflected inside viewfinder and on massive display screen right at the back of this camera.
I quite like reading a post that will make men and women think. Also, many thanks for allowing me to comment!
