CALIFORNIA UBER ALLES

Aside from vaunting the appropriateness of the classic Dead Kennedys (!) song, and the suggestion that Everyone Call And Request it from your local college station, and put in your cell phone ringtone I'll leave this debacle with an recurring aside about the latent potential to strain the national coalition of unholiness that keeps the GOP together - capitalists and baptists. Already today, national Republican pols were DISTANCING themselves from Arnold over the social issues.

There is potential here to unbuild the Reagan coalition - I will prognosticate a highly problematic relationship with the National GOP. He won with an old style Pacific Coast GOP coalition of populism and social moderation, and hijacked the pre-annointed right-wingers. This is more like Bob Packwood than Reagan, including the groping.

[I think the new Republican coalition is The Cynical and The Stupid. -CCPC]

And of course the Screeching Greedbrains.
