Following on our previous Schwarzenegger posts (1,2,3), it looks like we can now identify the culprit that sold out the Republicans. It was none other than Maria:
The most important thing about Kennedy, however, is that she is extremely competent - focused, organized, a quick study, politically astute. Rides herd. That's what the governor's wife, Democrat Maria Shriver, saw that prompted her to push Kennedy for the job. (From the LA Times' Skelton)I always thought that a Governor Maria would have been so much more appropriate - maybe that's what we've got now? This would become her second high profile homosexual hire, as John mentioned her own Chief of Staff Daniel Zingale is gay.
Like most literate Americans, I'm all for a reform agenda no matter what party label is attached to it. However, Schwarzenegger had his chance. I don't care if he packs his ENTIRE administration with gays and lesbians. I, personally, don't trust him. Do you?
