<DIV>So all you non-Americans - do you & your neighbors think we've gone
<BR>completely crazy having elected Arnie governor of our biggest state,
<BR>one that likes to think of itself as on the cutting edge of
<BR>civilization?<BR><BR>Doug</DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>can one who's born
and raised in california comment?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>what was the
choice? mediocre special interest political party hacks vs. an
austrian crypto nazi? unless you prefer a stipper or porn
king. after all, we all know larry flynt is a successful
businessman, just like arnold isn't. even arianna backed out on
us.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>the democrats never
learn. there wouldn't have been a traditional democrat in the race
if it weren't for bustamante, who was stuck by his party in the absurd
position of saying vote "no" on recall but vote for me. all the party hacks,
from clinton to lieberman to diane feinstein to you-name-it were campaigning
for davis and against recall. a complete waste of time and a total
bore. if davis would have bowed out in favor of bustamante the minute
the recall qualified for the ballot, today would have been a different
story. but this wasn't an election conducted in the interests of
the people; it was a celebration of vanity, arrogance and ignorance of the
politicians. business as usual.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>today, the
democrats practically handed california to shrub in the coming, 2004,
presidential election. think about it all of you desperate enough
to be saying "anyone but bush in 2004." if you're not good, you may get
arnold. you may get arnold anyway.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>there is one bright
note. proposition 54 was defeated.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Lucida Sans Unicode" color=#000080 size=2>for those who don't
know what prop 54 is, it's a move spearheaded by ward connerly, a multi
millionaire beneficiary of affirmative action who thinks he's
white. ward decided it would be best for the white people of
california not to have to keep statistics on minority races which are
useful in health care planning, education and all those other things ward
regards as frivolous now that he's made it and you haven't. as the
most powerful tom in california, ward put all his energies behind this ballot
measure, which thankfully was defeated.</FONT></DIV>
