McCain has an uphill fight to win this thing. It is not lost yet, but he cannot afford any more mistakes. In a lot of ways it is Obama’s race to lose at this point.

A good guy, but nothing extraordinary. Now I would give anything to have another governor like him. Schwarzenegger is gutless. He caved almost immediately to the Dems on raising the sales tax. The Republicans in the legislature stayed united in opposition and proved that the Dems would eventually give up. If Schwarzenegger had done the same we never would have went 85 days without a budget. At the time, I really didn’t think Wilson was anything special. A good guy, but nothing extraordinary.

We needed Tom McClintock. It sucks to be one of the 40,000 or so who pay the majority CA state taxes. Pete Wilson was a strong governor, unlike Gray Davis and Arnold.
