California Special Election Watch: It is the Turn-out, Stupid

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger campaigns for Prop. 76 and his reform agenda at a gathering held at an auto salvaging facility Pick-A-Part in Ontario.

Robert Sallady of the Los Angeles Times has Gov. Aims to Get Out Vote Selectively.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger ordered next week’s special election to take his agenda to “the people,” but his campaign strategy relies on relatively few people showing up next Tuesday and large segments of voters staying home.

The governor’s plan — “micro-targeting” voters, advertising in selected markets to reach them and conducting daily polls to augur the political mood — is guided by a single premise: If every Democrat and every Republican in California votes next week, Schwarzenegger’s measures are likely to lose.

Another “hit piece” of the day from the Los Angeles Times. Robert Sallady is a master of the anti-Schwarzenegger “NEWS?” pieces. Or should we call him the negative Arnold spinmeister?

The Times really needs to leave their opinions on their op-ed pages and out of the news columns.

By the way, has Sallady ever heard of political science and turning out your base?

Probably not…….

And the newspapers wonder why their circulation is decreasing and ad revenue is down.
