That's my prediction after reading this
article.
Here are some comments from
Democrats:
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom:
Just as during his 2003 recall race, "He's becoming a Democrat again,'' said an admiring San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom, assessing the governor's political instincts. "It's a good sign for him and a bad sign for the Democratic Party,'' Newsom said. "He gets it. He's learned his lesson. ... He's running back, not even to the center -- I would say center-left.''
UPDATE: so apparently, Newsom's comments were made with sarcasm.
Former SF mayor Willie Brown:
"Democrats were in trouble, even with the so-called 'Old Arnold,' '' Brown said. "Arnold can hold his own in almost any environment, particularly when he invokes the image of Sargent Shriver and the entire Kennedy clan as the foundation for his public service.''
SF superviser Ross Mirakirmi:
And echoing the views of many on the left, Mirkarimi said that while he feels positively about both state Treasurer Phil Angelides and state Controller Steve Westly -- Democratic candidates for governor -- "I don't feel like there's a buzz for either one of the candidates.''
Democrats "are going to need somebody more charismatic,'' he said. "And I don't see that on the horizon.''
Sigh, what is wrong with these Demcorats?? Charisma?? Isnt that how you got stuck with Arnold in the first place?? Do they not remember the real Arnold?? A speech will sway them? Do they not remember what they were fighting against in November?? I almost hope Arnold wins, and then they will see how great he is. Sigh. Sorry, needed to vent.
