Let's see...it's already been weird; it's already been bizarre; it's already been ridiculous.
I'm searching for new adjectives here to describe just how screwed-up Schwarzenegger's political work is.
Start with today's LA Times. George Skelton reports that Schwarzenegger is about to announce his plans for re-election and writes that:
"His strategy is to fire up the faithful this weekend and inspire them to work for a conservative-skewed voter turnout Nov. 8. But voters elsewhere will be reminded that the special election, at its core, has become a fight between Republicans and Democrats. And there are more Democrats in California."
Skelton calls it putting the cart before the horse.
The Capitol Weekly points out that Schwarzenegger has to run in order to save his dying initiative campaign in this November's special election. True, but its still hard to wrap your head around that, no?
Mark Barabak in the LA Times reflects how Schwarzenegger has managed to annoy Latino voters. Whoops. He reports:
"As he prepares to launch his reelection bid, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is facing attack from a group of fellow Republicans who condemn his record on Latino appointments and assail the state GOP as "morally wrong and politically stupid" in its treatment of Latino candidates.
In an unusual open letter drafted for release today, the activists offer a litany of political grievances and assert that "the California Republican Party and its key leaders are systematically excluding Latinos from any kind of meaningful role in the state party or state government."
Several reporters covered Schwarzenegger dropping big fat hints yesterday about his plans, including Soraya Nelson in the OC Register and the SF Chronicle's team of Carla Marinucci and John Wildermuth.
