Arnold's blues

Where to begin? First, there's the magazine deal, which is generating quite the storm and drawn two ethics complaints. Quite honestly, I did not think this one would have legs, but it has become quite the talking point on the left coast so far.

I would have bet that this deal, in which Arnold actually makes a profit from his PAC fundraising by charging them rent in an office building Arnold owns would be the bigger deal. So far, I'm wrong. But it's possible this one is simply lying dormant for now. Only time will tell.

Either way, none of these issues is going to help out Arnold's poll numbers, which show he can go even lower than anyone thought possible, now at only 34% approval.

And late this evening comes the news that Arnold's redistricting ballot, one of the gems of ballot initiative drive has been thrown off the ballot. Can't say I'm disappointed by that one, either.
