CALIFORNIA: "Mayor Antonio R. Villaraigosa of Los Angeles announced he would not enter the 2010 race to succeed Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican who is barred from seeking re-election. Mr. Villaraigosa, a Democrat who begins his second term in July, said he could not leave his job as his city faces a budget crisis and high unemployment," the AP writes.

I mean...who would really want the job? Hell I wouldn't unless you like fighting and ulcers..

Too bad that Villaraigosa isn't running for governor of California, he would have been a good choice. Going to be tough to decide between Jerry Brown or Gavin Newsome.

Hopefully the voters of Louisiana will get rid of Prostitute Patron Vitter.

Looks like Corzine isn't the only onme in New Jersey with problems. Doesn't surprise me that Christie has some legal probelms stemming from the bushwhacker's no-bid contract ripoff.

Hasta La Vista Arnold!

I agree with you Anita - who would want the job.
After the Dems and RINO Repubs socialized the state with no way to pay for all the "freebees", its a bankrupt state!

The Good News - the state HAS TO balance their budget!
The Bad News - BoBo is using the same socialism method and he DOES NOT have to balance his budget - thus HUGE DEFICITS FOR ALL FOR GENERATIONS!!!

California's problem is that the Non-Payers outnumber the Payers. (probably over simplified)

Under Reagan the motto was "Share the Wealth"
Under Obama (BoBO) the motto is "Share the Debt"

What's the latest in Coleman vs. Franken in MN? We haven't heard much on this lately.

The GOP wants to believe this is 1993 in VA and NJ, but it's not. Clinton was tanking in the approval numbers in the fall of 1993. They're hoping health care creates a similar defeat, and gives them some momentum for 2010. Obama will go into Hampton Roads, Richmond, and NoVa as a popular president unlike Clinton. He'll do the same in NJ for Corzine. Both races will be close but I bet the Dems win both of them.

The problem with Christie is that is he expecting that the hearing will understand that he has to leave at 1:30pm. Christie needs to stay and answer all the questions that are being asked of him. Does anyone know if there are Democrats from NJ on this House panel? This does go to his credibility and honestness. If he is so loyal to some people that he just gives them contracts without going through and looking at everything including conflicts of interest, then he will be no better than some of the people he has prosecuted.

Nobody is going to run for Governor of California. The budget situation is impossible. What a damm shame that the republicans have screwed-up the nation, state by state. The new immigration problem is going to be people leaving the U.S.

In California if it is down to former and once again governor wannabe Jerry Brown or Gavin Newsome I would take Gov. Moonbeam, Brown. Maybe the GOPers can put up a GOOD candidate like they did last time, one I can actually vote for. Poisner seems to be the only possible and even he is doubtful.
