Sad to hear.  I obviously havn't been following developments in California since the initiative failed.  I didn't think it was likely that Arnie would join forces with the Dems, but he is not, by his own inclination, so nihilistic as the "cave men" and then there is his wife.  If he follows that path, he will leave a legacy of ashes.  I guess we can hope that a phoenix will arise....Talk about a death grip!!!  That is certainly what the Republicans have wrought with their successful initiatives since Prop 13.
