Gov. Davis ..... what a classy man

[ronnykmarshall]

GOV. Davis was on local TV here in LA and that man showed class, dignity that Arnie does not have.

He's not gloating over the election and is honest about Arnie in 2006.

If Grey Davis was still in charge .... well it's hard to say.

But MY Governor .... Grey Davis still has my respect.

1. I hope he's gloating on the inside

Hopefully, he is feeling silent sweet revengence.

5. Oh my God!!

That was so FUNNY!!!!!!
:rofl:

You know, I brought several boxes of Dewars chews to my Los Angeles relatives for Christmas and found myself explaining why that was such an awesome treat. I had to laugh because I realized you had to be from Bakersfield to appreciate them.

Thanks for sharing (My husband says he saw that somewhere a couple weeks ago. Do you know who wrote it?)

[ronnykmarshall]

6. Don't know who wrote it ...

My cousin in the bay area sent it to me.

Made me laugh and HUNGRY!!!!

8. Hey there from SLO!

:hi:

7. I liked Grey Davis and never understood why

he was criticized. I thought he was too gracious when he lost to the BIG A, but maybe it's to his credit.

[mitchtv]

9. pretty dumb, though

Never ran a single ad in this area, Coachella Valley. He had all the money to fight the recall. I think he counted on LA county/bay area to save him.He abandoned "losing" areas instead of scrounging up every votehe could.

[LWolf]

10. I know why,

at least why I was not happy with him.

I supported him through the recall, but I was never happy with him as governor. I'm a teacher. He continued Pete Wilson's "standards and accountability" high stakes testing reform, and expanded it. That's a state version enacted before NCLB made it federal, and the reason why california has both AYP and API.

I sure preferred him over Arnold, though. Having moved out of state last spring, I need to say CONGRATULATIONS AND GREAT WORK!!! to my former state for your victories last week.

:thumbsup:

[lies and propaganda]

11. he got screwed

the whole energy crisis was blamed on him, while all the enron fucks are still getting away with murder.

Truth is, the governator's cabinet is chock full of Davis people who supposedly screwed cali over in a big way.

[seantrades]

12. I would say

That both are pretty terrible.
