GOP California Scheme Fails





Drat, drat, and double drat!




So much for
that. From The Los Angeles Times:


A proposed initiative that drew national attention for its potential to affect next year's presidential election will not appear on the June ballot, organizers said Thursday.


Republican backers of the measure, which could have tilted the presidential contest toward the GOP nominee by changing how California awards electoral votes, conceded that they were unable to raise sufficient funds.


Sacramento consultant Dave Gilliard, the campaign manager, said that even if a financial angel were to shower the campaign with $1 million, there was not enough time to qualify the measure for June.

Now that is good news I guess the California Republicans had enough of the White House lies. Notice the rich Republican voters in California who didn't help with the fire got nothing from FEMA or the White House. Bush came and looked got Feinstein to approve Mikie and left. He even forgot his had visited California. While Mitt was campaigning in Riverside he was at IHOP. I wonder if he ordered the pancake special for $3.99. Rudy was in orange country and got the directions to leave town.
