At the end of Tuesday's exercise in direct democracy, the Republican emerged battered a year before he would be up for reelection in the generally Democratic state, with all eight initiatives on his ballot soundly defeated.

This is a huge defeat, but I see him being re-elected nonetheless. I don't think Warren Beatty, for example, could carry the state.

It wasnt very smart to run a campainge saying he could not be bought, and then get bought by corporations and special interest time and again... and get caught at it.

What are you talking about. The problem in CA is that the State Unions have a stranglehold on politics to the point were democracy is starting to mean little. Whether you are a Republican or Democrat the Propositions he was pushing would have helped the state. The Unions lied through their teeth to what the propositions would do. two of them were how the State was run the balanced budget one and re districting were how in place until the special interest groups took over the state. Many idiots voted against the measures to stick it to Republicans (having never read what the measures were for) and because of the left wing cool-aid drinker Ca will start to go into deficit spending next year when the borrowed cash runs out. talk about shooting yourself in the foot.

The across-the-board collapse of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's ballot propositions came down to this: They were ideas with narrow appeal, further damaged by a flat-footed campaign and an unpopular messenger, the governor himself.

And that's just what his fellow Republicans said.

Ouch!

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's aides argued Wednesday that the crushing defeat of the governor's measures at the polls meant California voters had rejected the need for the special election -- not his calls for reform.

Sheesh. I think you're kidding only yourselves here, folks.

I still see re-election for him though. It's hard to beat his charisma and name recognition.
