No normal governor, when there has been no flood, would call a state of emergency at 5:30 p.m. Friday night. You call an emergency when there is a real emergency. This is a political emergency, like having the Republican delegates rough you up.

Schwarzenegger's budget is smoke and mirrors; we need a governor who will be more serious and frank and honest with the voters.

The legislature shouldn't cut money for education. There are over 6 million kids in the K-12 system and anybody in California knows they are the future for this economy.

Everyone knows these hugs are political. We Democrats know that when Schwarzenegger acts like a moderate for a while, it's only an act. We remember what his agenda was just last fall.

When people tire of a politician, it's very difficult to get back. This will make for four flat tires on his Hummer come Nov. 8. So far, the other three propositions have been more damaged by his involvement -- and now Prop. 75 will be even more damaged.

Now, for the umpteenth time, Arnold is undone by his attempts at hiding the truth from the public. How many more secrets does the governor have?
