Arnold already broke a campaign promise
He promised he would be a "people's" governor - yet today he announced that deregulation of energy was back on the agenda.

He attacked Davis/Bustamante for being in with the Special Interests. Now he's in with the special interests. The Enrons and PG & E's. This could be very bad for Arnold. He seems like a shill for Wilson.

So much for being the "people's" governor.

1. Not the People's Governor
More like the Moron's Governor, because that seems to be who voted for him.

If they want him, they can have him. Good luck to the rest of California. They'll need it.

8. Recalling him isn't wise.
Do voters really need to be inundated with this nonsense when we're coming up on a critical year where we need democratic votes? Or do we just need the Californians to be drug through the mud, listen to the namecalling by the Repukes calling the Dems poor sports, sore losers, etc and be completely turned off to voting, especially for a dem candidate?

The poor decision has already been made, lets concentrate on getting BushCo the hell outta the WH, then California can go after getting Arnold tossed.

Think about it. I have. Another recall in CA could have lasting effects for the entire US of A.

- A concerned non Californian.

10. This isn't about wise governance anymore.
We don't have that. We need to get our government back and to do that we have to get the neo-cons out of our state government. We can't leave Arnold, or really Pete Wilson serving out his third term. He was the one who created the mess to begin with and now he has Arnold promising to deregulate our electricity utility companies even more. God help us!

4. I think the recall was all about Enron
and ending the lawsuit. That's what's happening.

Issa's my Rep. Pity me...
