ok, so it is very mean of me to enjoy the california recall as much as i do........especially the coverage of last night's debate, which deteriorated into a shouting match of sound bytes with little actual attention to issues......it will be quite a blow to the republicans if they( as in arnold) fails to win the governor's position.........i am also pleased to see that dem candidates for president are going after bush and his iraq policy, as well as focusing hard on bush's failure to maintain the economy left by clinton......the majority of amercians do not favor throwing an extra 50 billion or so into iraq, and it is clear that neither france nor germany are going to do it either.........dubya may be left holding the empty bag next election.............
