<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tThings are looking pretty rosy for Arnie right now, and Garamendi’s last-minute withdrawal at union request doesn’t make any difference.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Note also that joke candidate Arianna has more support from Repubs than from Dems, confirming every suspicion of Republican stupidity we ever had.<\/p>\n
Will these numbers hold up? Probably not. 26% of Dems are undecided, and most of them will go for Bustamante, who’ll most likely pickup at least 60% of the Democrat vote. He’ll also attract a lot of otherwise not-voting Latinos to the polls to elect the first Latino governor in modern times. Arnie, meanwhile, will have to fight tooth and nail with death-wish wing of the Republican Party, most of whom will end up voting for Simon and McClintock. So Bustamante will Cruz to victory in October.<\/p>\n
Is he a bad guy? Yes, pretty much. He’s indebted to the Casino-Americans, and he’ll have to support their Sacred Sites land-grab and all the other nefarious stuff they have to do in order to retain the image of victimization, such as stopping research on predecessors to the so-called Native People and on their cannibalistic practices. Bustamante will also be a pawn to the prison guards and the other unions that own little pieces of Gray.<\/p>\n
The only significant difference I can see is that Cruz won’t be as indebted to the gay lobby as Davis, whose first real supporter was Sheila Kuehl, and he’ll obviously be way more indebted to the Latino lobby. That’s not a big difference. The people pulling Bustamante’s strings are more to my liking than those pulling Davis’, so in that sense it will be an improvement.\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
