4. I really like Wesley, but I'm still not sold.
I didn't see a clear winner on the recent televised debate.

Both candidates seemed good. Angeleides seemed to be relying on good Oppo-Research, which turns me off when it's so obvious. ON the other hand, Wesley seemed to be returning over and over again to simple stump lines.

I'm gonna need to see a little more of each before I make up my mind.

Hell, I haven't even bothered to register in CA, even though I live here 9 months of the year. I'm still voting in IL.

10. Are you referring to Angeledies and the contributions from developers?
I'm not to keen on that. But still, I'm not so sure that it's enough to turn me away from him.

He was a developer himself, so it doesn't seem dirty that people in his field would be supporting him. I haven't done enough research into the race, but I'm leaning toward Wesley.

Hell, either of them is a vast improvement on Arnie.

11. Westly is more appealing the Angelides
I'm sick of 'old $$$'. Westly is not 'old school'. Angelides is.

I am looking for a fresh start.

12. Agreed, but I'm not completely sold.
I could still change my mind. I haven't been turned off by either at this point.

15. My worry is that Westly doesn't have
much campaign experience and it might get rough when Arnold starts campaigning. That said, I'm leaning toward him.

14. My dear GalleryGod!
You know, I don't know! I haven't gotten anything from them yet.....

Technically of course, I am no longer a member, so I might not get any campaign lit from them.....

Time will tell, indeed!

Nice pic, BTW! Good old Ms Harris.....:puke:


:hi: :pals:

16. Westly
I'm a CTA member and they endorsed Angelides but I still like Westly.

I think he has a better shot at beating Ah-nold than Angelides does.

17. How do either poll against Arnold?
I know Arnie had low approval ratings a while back, but I haven't heard since.

19. Good question!
I'm new to CA politics, so I'm not really sure. I'm leaning towards Angelides though.

I guess I really don't care...either one of them is going to beat Ah-nuld...and be a vast improvement.
