Bill Whittle over at his weblog Eject!Eject!Eject! has some thoughts on the Democrats' reaction to losing the California governorship to the Republicans. The money quote:
"I just heard on the radio from a Democratic state senator who said that 'the people were unable to figure out who they were really angry at,' --that this was really a vote against George W. Bush, only the people weren't smart enough to figure out how to go about it and blamed it on poor old Gray Davis. Yes, in their righteous fury and anger at the Republican President, the people of California elected...a Republican governor! That'll show him!"
And following up on yesterday's post about Schwarzenegger's Plan for the state, one of the lefty bloggers, Daily Kos, has weighed in with some thoughts about that Plan. He says:
"Arnold has 100 days, starting from the second he takes his oath."
Then there's this reaction to Kos's views at the weblog Wunderkinder. One of his points:
"...if Democrats, in the eyes of the voters, follow up the ruination of the state's finances with obstructionary tactics to thwart efforts by the other side to fix things, they're going to lose the state to Bush in 2004. Watch out, out there."
The carping between the two parties goes on and on. When politicians are in the mix, getting something constructive done these days is a real challenge.

That's hilarious! Angry at George Bush so they elect Arnold Schwarzenegger! What a hoot! So if they decide to boot George Bush, they'll elect Pat Buchannan?
The left exposes its elitist attitudes by saying that the people of CA who voted for Arnold didn't know what they're doing. If anything the left didn't know what they were doing, voting to keep a corrupt incompetent governor who would have destroyed the state in 3 more years.
Cheese Louise :)
