His right wing base is mad at him: he failed in the special elections, he's pro-choice and he appointed a Gray Davis Democrat as his chief of staff. Commuting Tookie would be the last straw.
Then there are people like us on the left. We have all been denouncing him since the say he was inaugurated and we have a great deal of personal dislike for the man. Do any of you really think that any of that would change if he commuted Tookie? If he commuted Tookie would people of our political persuasion suddenly shower Schwarzenegger with praise and pledge to support his re-election in 2006? Would the criticisms of him stop?
Be honest.
I sense that Schwarzenegger knows this and that the decision had already been made.
