California Compromises

I wonder if the general distate for the candidates I just expressed might also resonate with many Californian voters. The WP has an analysis of the conflict California conservatives face in the gubernatorial race:

They now face an unhappy choice: support a candidate in Schwarzenegger who is anything but a true believer or stick to principles, back McClintock and risk being blamed if Republicans lose the governor's office once again.

It's not as if Democrats have a much better choice. They get to select between a Governor that is widely despised, and a Lt. Governor whose liberal credentials and experience are highly suspect. Not a lot to get excited about there either.

UPDATE: Also, has anyone noticed that Bustamante looks eerily like Jon Polito, a character actor put to good use in several Coen brothers' films (e.g. Miller's Crossing, The Big Lebowski)?
