Staying up past my bed time watching the Walnut Creek debate between the Cali recall candidates. Here's my take.
I wish we could elect two people. One to run social policies and another to run economic policies. I'd vote for Camejo for the social chair and Uberoth for the economic chair. I think that's where most californians are -- and yes, they're pretty schizophretic.
And whoo hoo! Camejo's talking about proportional representation!
Unfortunately I don't think Camejo's ready to work with Uberoth, they would fight it out over most issues such as schools, overtime pay, welfare systems, etc. But better policies would probably result if they had to meet half way. Uberoth for freedom! Camejo for equity!
I'd rather use McClintock as a door mat.
Bustamante is too much of a puppet. (Though the name CRUZ is kinda of cool)
Huffington is Feinstein with an accent.
If I weren't so disgusted with the recall in the first place maybe I'd be happy voting for one of these characters.
Oh, I forgot about Schwarzenegger. But that's not really by accident since there's really not much to talk about. What's he for? He's like that big blow up balloon at the auto dealer. It's big and everyone sees it, but it doesn't make any sense.
"Ah, that's a big blow up dinosaur sir..." (followed by long awkward silence)
"Yeah, you like it?"
"Why's it here again?"
"For getting attention."
"But why?"

I was listening to the Davis interview before the debate in Walnut Creek started, I feel kind of bad for the guy. Sure, some of the things that are going wrong in the state are his fault, but I think the Republicans who are pushing for his recall are wrong to make everything his fault. It's not his fault the dot-com age busted and turned the economy down, it was bound to bust eventually. Davis said the recall has humbled him and made him realize the voters are upset at him; too bad he didn't come to this realization earlier, we may have been spared all this nonsense. I think I'll be voting for Davis in the recall, some of the other candidates sound good, but talk is cheap and how can a new governor turn things around for the state in two years? We should just wait it out and vote for the good guy in the next election (and I don't mean the recall election).
