Gray Davis did one of the few political no-no's. Seeing a strong Repug candidate in the opposition's primary pool, he threw HIS money at the other side's primary, initiating a muck-raking TV campaign against this certain Repug. Once the Repug lost the primary Gray Davis had the election pretty well shored-up.
Then, mere weeks after he won the election, he announced California's $48 billion deficet -- even though he'd known about it for much longer.
Now, as I've posted before, the whole ultra-democratic referendum system in California is MOSTLY to blame for CA's current economic crisis, as well as the state of idiocy of its legal system (including that asinine draconian three-strikes law). However, Gray Davis certainly made his own bed, and must now sleep in it. In short, he is every bit the sleazy little weanie he looks to be.
