Arnold Schwarzenegger Watch: This is Arnold Schwarzenegger’s MESS Now
Like Flap said the first time!
LA Weekly New West Notes: Arnold Makes The Reiner Mess His Own
Hugh Hewitt: Arnold’s Reiner Anchor
Unforced errors in politics are the worst sort. Standing by a friend is admirable, but not when that friend has chaired a commission that spent $23 million on ads that clearly supported the friend’s political campaign to expand the public schools bureaucracy and raise taxes via initiative.
Arnold’s refusal to replace Reiner with a serious medical professional will be a slow bleed, and unlike Arnold’s other gestures of reconciliation with the center-left and left, this is the sort of very public blow off of conservatives and good government types that makes his November re-elect much more problematic.
California voters will NOT stand for this.
They will simply vote the Governator out of office.
