Conan sinking like a stone

Each week it gets worse and worse for Ahnuld. He dropped to 13 points behind Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante in the latest poll (LA Times).

50% behind (22% support vs. 35) and dropping is a very unhealthy place for a novelty candidate. It's not hard to see why, though. Have you seen his TV commericals? I saw one and it's nothing but schmaltz: "I'll be the people's governor!" Who is advising him? Don't they get it that he needs to show he's got substance? All that thing does is make him look like a guy who thinks he can play governor on TV. (And when is he making the transistion down to the little screen, by the way. Outside his one reliable terminator character, all his recent movies have tanked.)

He's still got time to turn it around, but all signs so far indicate he'll just keep fading. Nice  to see Californians are ready to be starstruck.

I'm sad to say Arianna's campaign has gone nowhere. Perhaps all the freaks running tarred them all with the whacko brush, and people went looking for traditional candidates. Looking more and more like  like the most traditional position possible, the #2 spot will just move up. (If Davis gets the boot. His numbers are finally improving).
