[The allegations in the suit could prove] a boon clearly to people who are against the industry sponsored initiative, ... It does provide very good fodder for 30-second spots. |
Arnold Schwarzenegger is his own best salesman, walking into Chevy's to talk with people. He needs to tell them he has a plan. |
Can he sell it again? I don't know. If anybody can, he can. |
He can grow into a statesman, as Reagan did. Or he can continue to be a caricature of himself. |
He can't get negative. I think he has to carve out a different image of himself. |
He has squandered his popularity. He needs to broaden the message and broaden his base. He still can. |
He needs to remember why he came to Sacramento, which was to solve problems. He should have learned from this election that people are very angry and want to see him actually getting something done. |
He often comes across as harsh and so having surrogates may be the best way for him to go in terms of creating a positive buzz about him as a candidate. |
He was a hotshot, and now he's an anathema. You don't want to see his face in ads. |
He's starting in the hole. |
Her skill set is working with people who have intransigent positions and moderating them. The disgust with partisan gridlock is something that people share with her. She had the guts to say it, the rest of us just think it. |

I think for the average voter it's all just a blur. And it's going to get worse because every available spot around prime time is booked and they're spending outrageous amounts of money on it. |
I think he has real managers running the show on both sides of the shop. The danger is you have to know the people and the events and starting a new team this late, even if they are a wonderful team, is hard. |
I think it's the governor's (election) to lose. I think we're going to have a well-funded Democratic primary with a lot of nastiness and negative campaigning. |
