Angelides Strives to Get His 'Anti-Arnold' Message Heard in Bid for Governor
By George Skelton

People react to state Treasurer Phil Angelides in three ways — only one of them good:

• They're grateful for his playing the role of California's leading anti-Arnold.

• They deride him as an opportunistic, tax-and-spend liberal.

• They shrug and ask, "Who is he?" If they even care.

Most people fit into the last category.

When the Field Poll, in mid-February, asked voters their opinion of Angelides, 62% said they had none. They didn't know enough about him. Among those who did have an opinion, it was almost 2 to 1 favorable.
