Will Davis Go Negative

My guess is that yes he will, for two reasons. First, it is all that Davis knows. So far he has gone negative in the last several elections. He has even gone negative on fellow Democrats such as Dianne Feinstein. This has been his main tactic, to sling dirt and rocks at his opponents thereby making himself look better by comparison.

The second reason is that he has got virtually nothing else. He has passed a job killing Family Medical Leave Bill, he has signed a high controversial bill granting illegal immigrants drivers licenses (he had vetoed even more restrictive bills twice before), he bungled the energy crisis badly, and he was a coward and inept fool with the state's budget. He has virtually nothing positive he can point to about himself. Even when he tries to "take responsibility" it is always, always followed by an excuse. On the energy crisis, "he inherited it". While true to a degree, it does not absolve him from having absolutely no backbone in dealing with the crisis. When it came to the budget it was those intransigent Republicans. Hello, its a two-fucking-way street Gov. DimBulb. The Democrats didn't look to keen on compromising either.

So Davis will undoubtedly go negative. This is doubly true now that polls are indicating that Arnold is the front runner. If the poll numbers hold true, the race will become more like a traditional two person election: vote "No" and get Davis, vote "Yes" and get Arnold. Davis wants to create doubt about what kind of governor Arnold will be, hoping that the voters will go with a known quantity.

The only problem is that Davis is a big fat zero. He is a nothing. Davis has no backbone or intestines whatsoever. He is a coward who cannot make a tough decision. So he has to go along ways to make Arnold look worse than he does. So I'm expecting some very nasty campaigning from Davis over the next week or so.
