Around The ‘Sphere

Our all-too-infrequent linkfest aimed at bringing you DIVERSE VIEWS from all over the Blog-o-you-know-what. So we do NOT limit them to one viewpoint. Opinions do NOT necessarily represent the views of The Moderate Voice. This will be expanded a bit MORE today and when this sentence vanishes this post will be complete.

IS CALIFORNIA GOVERNOR ARNOLD SWARZENEGGER GOING TO BECOME THE NEXT JESSE VENTURA? It’s a very interesting — and valid — question, as those of us here in California can attest. Jonathan Singer looks at this issue.

AND IS ARNIE PULLING A PETE WILSON? Professor Bainbridge reminds us about what happened to Pete Wilson. FOOTNOTE: I was a reporter on the San Diego Union, which had good relations with Wilson, who had been San Diego’s Mayor. Wilson’s right hand man was the wonderful and brilliant Otto Bos, a former Union reporter. Otto suddenly died and it was after his death that Wilson veered towards anti-immigration rhetoric and a bit more to the right, which doomed the GOP in California. It’s a pity because Wilson was one of the more solid officials the state has seen. (Some Wilson people are in the Ahnold’s administration).
