Reply #24: Marin County wasn't exactly one of Ahnold's strongholds

so your comment about not knowing anyone who voted for him is not surprising. It's kind of like the remark by the Manhatten liberal who wondered how Nixon won when no one he knew had voted for him. Bustamante was a TERRIBLE candidate with zero charisma. Davis hoped to force the issue by keeping out any Dem alternative candidate and Cruz came in at the last moment. The final results did not surprise me. You got to give people a legitamate alternative.

Most people still do not pay attention to politics except for a few glances at commercials or the evening news. Personality can sway people rather easily, I'm afraid.
