Krugman on CA

[TioDiego]

KRUGMAN: ne reason Gray Davis is so unpopular is that, unlike the challengers, he has actually had to take painful steps to close the budget gap. Although news reports continue, inexplicably, to talk about a $38 billion deficit, the projected gap for next year is only $8 billion.

3. Fuzzy math on steroids - the Quote of the Day

The key moment in Arnold Schwarzenegger's Wednesday press conference
came when the bodybuilder who would be governor brushed aside questions
with the declaration, "The public doesn't care about figures." This was
"fuzzy math" on steroids — Mr. Schwarzenegger was, in effect, asserting
that his celebrity gives him the right to fake his way through the
election. Will he be allowed to get away with it?

4. will he get away with it? you're not serious.

OF COURSE he'll get away with it.

look who's standing next to arnold in photo ops. plutocrats & reaganites. he's anointed by the bush admin., and the lapdog press will read the script they're given.

how infuriating to be a californian this fall.
