All Four Schwarzenegger Propositions Rejected

Californians rejected all four of Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's backdoor Propositions designed to increase his power, and the power of the Republican party in the State.

Basically, the $50 million dollar Special Election changed nothing, although this big defeat further eroded Arnold's political standing since he made the special election a referendum on his effectiveness to lead the State without the support of the State Legislature (recent approval ratings for Schwarzenegger, are in the mid-30's - even lower than those of Governor Gray Davis who was forced out in a Repulican led recall effort, which enabled Arnold to take the Statehouse as an "outsider").

The people of California figured out that Arnold sold us a false bill of goods (similar to what Dubya has done on the national level), and they gave him a solid vote of no confidence.

As a sidenote, in the final week of the campaign, ads featuring Arizona Senator John McClain supporting Arnold's props were shown extensively, so it will be interesting to see how that impacts McClain's presidential ambitions.
