You Know, Arnold Could Work to OUR Advantage..............

...if the DNC uses their brain, takes advantage of a golden opportunity and doesn�t shrink into a corner, hunker down and hope the sky doesn�t fall on them (as usual)! Please bear with me because after two and a half years here, I smell this....I really smell this.

Yep, by now you know that Davis wants the Clintons to come out and campaign for him; BUT the whole news today (how far do you trust media whores) is that the Clintons don�t want to do this because they don�t want to be associated with a �loser�. My God, DNC now needs to use their brains. We have the situation of CA where the news media will be focused for two months at the total distraction of our Dem presidential candidates... (Dem presidential candidates??--what Dem candidates?? Do you get the picture?---we are off any page in any newspaper because of this-- and that includes Howard Dean). But we can either just disappear as a party OR we can make CA something Bush dreads.

The DNC desperately needs to bring Clinton to CA, the most liberal of our states and where he is very popular. BUT, he cannot come in to campaign for Davis. They need for him to come and address the citizens of CA, independently standing on �principle� like the following: 1) citizens of CA, you are the next Florida where democracy is stolen from the people; 2) the repukes hate the democratic process and use every means possible to overthrow the officials elected by the people; 3) the repukes hate the American people and their process of democracy; 4) CA is the first of a long assault on Democracy by these people that will end in the total destruction of the electoral process and the fall of this nation, and finally (5) this is the work of the people who overthrew this nation in 2000--G. W. Bush and his regime and they are using you to further their anti-democratic agenda. 6) Why do we send our troops to supposedly bring �democracy� to another nation while these swine work to dismantle our democracy here in the US of A.. 7) You, CA, are our last line of defense against these right wing Nazi fascists.

In a word, folks, they need to give the national podium to the guy that the GOP fears most---Bill Clinton. That is why the repukes try to demonize him. They are afraid of his power to rally the troops and sell his message. CA is the PERFECT backdrop for Bill because of his following there-- ( other Dem candidates have been afraid to associate themselves with him and that has been a great gag on our party). Bringing up the 2000 election is NOT what Rove wants in this election cycle. This could be the �kick off � to the Dem �04 campaign. From this �bully pulpit� that the whore media has to cover, Bill can (use your imagination here) branch out into all sorts of things to attack this administration. Folks, Arnold provides the circus backdrop that has all sorts of Neanderthals listening who would never listen to us or any politician. This is the time and the opportunity and Bill is the ONLY one that these �star struck� morons might listen to..........but more importantly, the message (as the media whores gulp) that goes across this land. Bottom line: if we sit in the corner and Arnold wins, we will be laughed at as the loser who couldn�t even keep the most liberal state in the union. OR we can turn this into something that is Bush�s worst nightmare. If our DNC can�t think themselves out of this, then it prove to me that they are setting our candidates up to lose.....I�m serious. They aren�t that stupid. They can turn this pro-Dem. If they chose not to, then we have to admit some ugly realities to ourselves. I would NEVER forgive them for not taking advantage of this national coverage and making it an attack on the GOP and the Bush regime. I�m sick of the �polite� words that make us losers----I�ll guarantee you that I wouldn�t have to outline this to the GOP if the situations were reversed.
