Psst, talk to me, I'll pass it on
Initiate!
Let's see what passes for "judgement day" for the Daily Cal:
"All the smart money is counting on him being re-elected next year whether or not these measures go down," said UC Berkeley political science professor Jack Citrin, who teaches classes on public opinion and voting behavior. "But if they fail, it will certainly erode his sense of having a special connection with voters."
Judgement! Still re-elected, but a sense of connection may be eroded!
Students especially have been vocal against what they call needless political activity.
"A lot of people on campus don't have positive feelings about the election," said James Fullmer, external vice president of the Berkeley College Republicans. "They believe its just a waste of money and a power grab."
I'm interested in whether Fullmer actually agrees or is just repeating his view of campus. Because that'd be pretty fucking assholish of The Daily Cal to ascribe the view to him implicitly, as they do.
This week, Courage Campaign, a Bay Area online advocacy group, launched a series of advertisements linking the governor and President Bush's policy-making styles.
Oh, that's courageous. "Hey, everybody, you all hate Bush, right? Well, hate Arnie too!" The cowardly thing to do would be to actually deal with the issues.
