Has Arnold gone crazy. wants to raise the Min wage 1$. Begging for Votes?

[Guckert]

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is expected to propose a $1 increase in the state's minimum wage after vetoing similar legislature this year, a further indication that he is cultivating a more moderate image as he begins his re-election year.


An aide to the governor said Friday that the proposal will be included in Schwarzenegger's State of the State speech on Thursday.


Under the plan, the hourly wage would rise from $6.75 to $7.25 in September and to $7.75 in July 2007.

----------------------------------------------------------
Doesn't he know the GOP lie of raising the min wage will doom the economy (even though Clinton did it 4 times and had the greatest economy of my lifetime. I guess he did not read the Bush memo of only BILLION $$$$ companies get government raises to spurn the economy. the Bush STAGNATION ECONOMY. I cant wait to see and hear the GOP slimes heads explode on Tues with this gem.

I hate to see a grown man BEG.

1. johnny wendell on KTLK predicted that Ahnuld

would be throwing out moves like this ( and holding the line on 'fee' increases at the universities ) to pave the way for re-election. seems he was on the right track.

2. So he is running.

Let's defeat him.

3. I hope that the rumors that Al Gore is going to run against

him are true. I think Gore has a better chance of being elected than Angelides.

4. Gore?

That will be different. Where did you hear that?

[Cleita]

5. He and Tipper have moved to San Francisco and

people are whispering here in my burg anyway that he might be establishing residency to run for Governor. I hope it isn't just wishful thinking.

7. It's wishful thinking against Ahnuld, 5 years for residency. (nt)

[rinsd]

6. That rumor started here I think, Gore will not run against Arnold....

10. Gore could still run in the future, it just won't be against Ahnuld (nt)

9. He's pitching for the WWF vote (taco Bell employees)

many of them were one time only, I think.
MexAm approval is way down, and many are at minimum.
