Had Enough--Of A Campaign Going Nowhere

Today's email from the Angelides campaign starts out (and continues in the same vein):

Since Arnold Schwarzenegger's White House ally, George W. Bush, committed us there over three years ago, America has been bogged down in the war in Iraq.

But just like you, Phil knows this war is wrong for our country. And that is why he has pledged to do everything in his power bring the California National Guard home from Iraq and to end this misguided war.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's response? Silence.

If that doesn't make it clear we need new leadership in California, I don't know what does.

My email to the Angelides campaign:


If Angelides were running for the US Senate against war and colonial empire supporter Republicrat Feinstein, I'd be thrilled.

But short of having California secede from the union, the Governor of California can do damn little about Iraq.

So yes, I've had enough of a campaign that is doing nothing to invigorate its base as to issues he can actually do something substantive/meaningful about, enough of a campaign that is doing nothing to convert those inclined to vote for HerrGoobernator, doing nothing to reach across the political landscape.


As I pointed out in a recent Blog posting:

HerrGoobernator speaks to 10,000 people, most of whom are NOT part of his political base. Women and the Dalai Lama? They should be completely repelled by HerrGoobernator, and yet there he is, coming across as a decent human being reaching out across the political landscape, not wearing horns and nobody at the convention with the guts or political incorrectness to say otherwise. Meanwhile, Angelides is speaking to a paltry 200 people, in San Francisco, that, with or without enthusiasm, will mark Angelides' name come Election Day.
