After a week of playing Hamlet to a rising chorus of calls that he resign, Secretary of State Kevin Shelley is telling confidants that he's staying put -- and that he won't even consider stepping down unless two major conditions are met:

-- That he be freed from all state and federal legal liabilities.

-- That he have a "safe place to land" -- i.e., a job.

1. Hang Tough Kevin!

He knows it is the Right Wing Noise Machine that is after him, not the citizens of California.

Those scumbags... it's okay for Tom DeLay (just one of the multitude of Thug examples of fraud and lying) to change ethics rules when he is neck deep in filth, but they continue their campaign of innuendo and lies when it comes to Shelley.

3. How about a 3rd option, Shelley?

Insist that your replacement be a Democrat, and get pledges in place to keep Diebold and other riggable machines out of CA forever.

4. What did this guy do?

Sorry, have had the flu.

5. He can't make his replacement a Democrat. Arnold is not on our side.
