State GOP (California) Demands Talk w/ Arnie

Governor Faces Revolt in GOP
As anger rises over the choice of a Democrat as chief of staff, party leaders demand a talk.

By Robert Salladay, Times Staff Writer

SACRAMENTO — With segments of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's political base rising in revolt, directors of the California Republican Party have demanded a private meeting with the governor to complain about the hiring of a Democratic operative as his chief of staff.

The request comes as Schwarzenegger faces sustained opposition from moderate and conservative Republicans over the choice of Susan P. Kennedy. Before serving as a state public utility commissioner, Kennedy was Cabinet secretary for Gov. Gray Davis. She also was an abortion-rights activist and former Democratic Party executive.

Oooooo baby, Arnie's pissed off the GOP now!!!!

1. Gropinator being taken to the woodshed?

The GOP doesn't like its puppets thinking for themselves, and Arnie is about to receive yet another painful political lesson.

Good.

4. As if they have a chance with anyone else

Granted, nobody likes Arnold but still, Republicans are still the minority in the state (Thank God!)

3. Oh please

Arnie was a fluke. His win shows no power on the part of Republicans. I want to bury that party in this state.

5. They're doing a good job themselves.

This talk about Mel Gibson?? Oh my gawd!! They are really scraping the bottom aren't they?

You know that Tom McClintock is foaming at the mouth to run against Arnie.

6. Eww Tom McClintock

Apparently he's my state senator (I'm only living here temporarily). He doesn't cover West Hollywood, does he?
