The GOOD news about California

[Le Taz Hot]

California Democrats:

Lt. Governor, Cruz Bustamante
Secretary of State, Kevin Shelley
State Treasurer, Phil Angelides
State Controller, Steve Westly
Attorney General, Bill Lockyer
Insurance Commissioner, John Garamendi
Superintendent of Public Instruction: Jack O'Connell
U.S. Senate: 2 of 2 seats
U.S. House of Representatives: 33 of 53 Seats
State Senate: 25 of 40 seats
State Assembly: 48 of 80 Seats
Board of Equalization: 3 of 5 seats
Nanci Pelosi: House Minority Leader

Please, tell me what state has a better Democrat representation. I'll wait.

Meanwhile, we can forget all of the above and JUST concentrate on Arnold and we can boycott California and call ALL 38 million of us idiots and tell ALL the women of California they deserve Arnold. :eyes:

1. I agree

and I mourn with you. Thanks for all your hard work.

[Le Taz Hot]

2. Kick, damnit!

After a gazillion negative threads about California I want ALL DUers to see this and LET IT SINK THE FUCK IN!!!!!!

(And yes, I'm STILL pissed. Can you tell?) B-)

[Cha]

3. That is Good News! Thanks!

Should be very interesting to see what happens!

4. Hey - I'm a Floridian - I have no room to talk (Jeb Bush/Katherine Harris)

both re-elected by maroons. I feel your pain...

[Red_Viking]

5. Texan here--also no room to talk

Having said that, I was disappointed to see the Gropinator win. But, do you realize: He won with about 25% of the vote. That's all. So I still have hope that, absent BBV problems, Cali will not go to the repukes in 2004.

Also, I predict Herr Groper has only one function--to rubber-stamp the sweetheart settlement with Enron, et al. Once that's done, the pukes won't care what happens to him. He has a single task, and he'll perform it. Hope the folks who voted for him are paying attention when that comes to pass!

Keep the faith. I love California, and will in fact be out there visiting family at Thanksgiving. Bay Area. Can't wait.

6. And Prop 54 roundly defeated n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

8. Thank you!

With all this Arnold obsession I SHOULD have mentioned that. Fear not, Ward Connerly has already announced it will be on the ballot again in November 2004. (sigh)

13. Unless our recall goes forward before then

but time indicates it willbe the national election. Six months from Arnold swear in is is Apr. 15.

But we're DOING IT DAMMIT! :grr:

16. Wait on that already damnit!

All the attention that was given to the LAST recall shifted focus away from Bush's crimes. We can't allow that to happen again! It would be shooting ourselves in the foot.

[Capn Sunshine]

18. sorry. I agree with your premise, but MUST do this.

because they are counting on us NOT doing it. Sometimes you just have to say "what the fuck"
?entende?

[blondeatlast]

7. Proposition 54: DOWN IN FLAMES!!!

[roguevalley]

9. Thank you. I am just sick about this but Idiot is only one man.

All the money in the world can't change those
stats. GO CAL-Ih-Forn-Ya!

[Le Taz Hot]

10. What? No kicks for a POSITIVE California thread?

Hard to believe, ain't it? B-)

[Capn Sunshine]

19. TAZ I get my kicks

just knowing YOU are out there kicking ass and taking names.

[SammyWinstonJack]

11. Well not the state I currently reside in that's for sure!

I was born,raised and resided in California until moving to Tx 11 yrs ago. Needless to say I won't be boycotting California, in fact I have a trip planned in Dec to visit my brother and sister. :-) No one deserves Arnie, certainly not those in California who worked so hard against this BS recall cooked up by the slimy repukes.

12. I suppose the word veto doesn't mean much

:shrug: It's nice to put a good face on what has happened but it still is not how I would wish for it to be.

[Terwilliger]

14. removed

it was acknowledgment of Prop 54's defeat

[alcuno]

15. I'm confused. What makes Arnold a Republican?

Is it just because he says he is?

[alcuno]

17. I don't have the statistics, but Illinois sure feels like the epicenter

of the Democratic Party.

Democrats:

Governor - I can't remember his name - Oh wait, Blagojovich
Lt. Governor - I don't know who he is, but he's a Democrat
Secretary of State - Jesse White
Attorney General - Lisa Madigan
State Legislature - under Democratic control
US Senators - Dick Durbin and whoever wins Fitzgerald's seat

But none of these people rate as highly on the Democrat meter as Richard M. Daley, Mayor of Chicago. Hah!

[Padraig18]

20. Rod Blagoevic

*grin*

Lt. Governor--- Patrick Quinn
Comptroller--- Daniel Hynes
Supreme Court- 7 of 9 Justices are (D)

Ask us how we did it! :thumbsup:

[goobergunch]

21. It's spelled "Blagojevich"

and a :kick: for California.

[Padraig18]

22. No 'h'--- it's Serbian ... n/t
