But much more important, here is a man who got elected on the promise that he wouldn't need special interest money and wouldn't take it. He now says he needs it and he'll be happy to take it. How many promises does he get to break before no one believes anything he says? |
For a change, we actually have two candidates who have defined themselves, or are trying, as they go along. They don't fit into any classic pattern. They're appealing to more of a broad group, both of them. |
He has done nothing to move the Republicans off where they were in the first place, except in the limited way the Assembly was able to take advantage of last night. |
He's making his position clear. |
I think it means what we've been saying all along - the governor's initiatives are not real reform. They're not popular, people don't like them, and they're going to lose. |
I'm not surprised people took a break. I think the voters were speaking pretty clearly in November with the force of the 'no' vote. |
If there was any visage of bipartisanship left in this governor, I think he's just about put a nail in that coffin. |
It looks to me like a lot of posturing is going on. A number of initiatives have been filed and counter-filed, so it's unclear how much of this makes it to the ballot. |
It's a phony election that he creates on issues that every poll says voters don't care about and he's complaining about having to raise money for it? |
It's not hard to get bonds, if you do it in a systematic fashion and you actually engage people for more than ten minutes. |
It's time for him to decide who he really is as governor. He seems to be having a very difficult time in doing that. And until he figures that out, it's really difficult to judge his comments and his actions. |
Last year he was adamant that public employees were destroying the planet. ... Now he's into infrastructure. Tell me how he got there? It's a long way from the first sentence to the second sentence. |
Part of it is he doesn't have a lot of capital with his own party's leadership. Part of it is he just doesn't understand the process or care to engage in the process. |
Since taking office, the governor has broken a number of important promises. So while we're hopeful, we're naturally skeptical about what he says. |
The governor obviously needs to go on the air because he's so weak in every public and private poll that's been taken. That's the only reason he'd going on air, regardless of what anyone else is doing. |
