What a Night

I hope I didn't do anything stupid.

Anyway, I had optimistically predicted that Davis would survive. I based that on one major premise - that after about a month or so, the media would stop with the Access Hollywood coverage of Arnold and actually point out his ties to Pete Wilson, Enron, etc...

Of course, I was wrong. They're a lazy bunch of SOBs, and if they can point a camera at a Nurembourg rally and call it news, they're going to do it. I knew Arnold would have untold hours of free media on AM radio, etc... but I actually made the mistake of thinking the respectable news media would eventually realize they had a responsibility.

Prediction: Arnold proposes crazy things which do nothing to deal with California's budget problems (MORE spending! LESS taxes!), while blaming the Democratic legislature for anything that goes wrong. He'll probably get away with it...
