    That mess of a state sure needs a new Governor. When is Gray Davis starting the recall petition against Schwarzenbeggar?

    No need because there's an election soon? Well that didn't stop the well-funded Republican recall of the Democrat Davis, only 7 months after the voters had elected him. The state's present failure shows how wise that was.

    Davis was corrupt and a disaster. He gambled the peoples' money on commodity futures and lost.

    I've got no beef with Meg Whitman. Spending her own money is a lot better than spending lobbyists' money, like most of the rest of the politicians.

    If Bloomberg ran for president as an independent and spent 1/10th of his wealth ($1.8B) on his campaign, would you make the same complaint? (that he's trying to buy the office)

    Oakland has 3 sports teams, some really good eateries, parks, nice homes, people who care about the city and pretty decent weather. It also has some really bad stuff. Every city has crime, racist cops, and homeless people.

    Funny that St. Louis is #2. I go to St. Louis every other year and not once have I felt threatened there.

    All cities have shitty spots some worse than others, if you live in Tualatin and thats all you've ever known, than sure Oakland is scary.

    It doesn't speak to whether the conditions have gotten better or worse, either.

    Do they consider E. St. Louis as part of St. Louis? B/c it is pretty bad there.

    They probably could and I agree it is really bad there. But, do they consider Vancouver crime rates when they give off Portland figures?

    Watched the first debate.

    So far, I agree more with Whitman as to the direction of California. Encourage a more business friendly environment, especially in manufacturing versus "green jobs", which Brown sees as the future. She more closely mirrored my views on illegal immigration/amnesty as well, which I believe also causes problems as well.

    Whitman supports amnesty for illegals. I guess I don't see the big deal.

    Whitman had better hope she kept all of the paperwork. If she did, the illegal immigrant should be jailed for using a stolen SS card and fake ID. The fact that Gloria Allred is involved makes it likely that the maid is a liar.

    How much does a housekeeper make? This illegal woman started at $23/hour, and taxes were paid on her SS and she has W-2 forms. Seems like a smear attempt by desperate Dems, IMO. I wonder if the maid paid taxes on her W-2? If not, somebody needs to alert the IRS, because she made good money.

    Throw a bunch of shit at a wall and see what sticks. I can't say I blame Jerry Brown, because it's a close race.
