CA-GOV: It's All Politics

Via Calitics, seems like the Governor pulled the old bait-and-switch, telling Democratic leaders that he would appear at nonpartisan events to push the bond issues, and then announcing it through his re-election campaign.

What's sadder is that Nunez and Perata would have thought these events could ever be nonpartisan to begin with. We're dealing with a governor whose every move is political. From his tilting to the center, then right, then left; to digging up a San Jose street at taxpayer expense so he could fill it up again for a photo-op; to using taxpayer money through the state Homeland Security department to spy on liberal groups; to flip-flopping on practically every campaign promise he's ever made, the Governor doesn't know how to govern so much as a knows how to STAGE.

I'd like a governor who displays concern for actual Californians instead of concern for the best angle for the TV crews and how to make himself look moderate.
