ANGELIDES TRAILS SCHWARZENEGGER

Any ideas, folks?  Part of the problem is that people don't seem love Angelides nor hate Scwarzenegger.  Not a lot for most of the electorate to get fired up about.  The Governor may be re-elected by a wave of apathy.  It doesn't help that some Democrats are backing Schwarzenegger:
"A number of my Democratic friends, who have raised lots of money for Democrats, have said they cannot support Phil," said Angela Bradstreet, a well known San Francisco attorney and co-chair of Sen. Dianne Feinstein's re-election campaign. "This is the first time I can remember it being so pronounced."

Bradstreet, a Democrat who said she is voting for Schwarzenegger, argued that the governor has re-established himself as a moderate who has shown strong leadership on economic issues.

"Quite frankly, I'm also sick and tired of paying taxes," she said. "And that's Angelides' solution -- raising taxes."
She can suck it.  I don't give a shit who the bitch votes for, but to put a quote like this in the newspaper is tantamount to campaigning for Arnold.  And taxes?
Phil will work to close corporate tax loopholes and make the state’s tax system more functional to get more state revenue. If additional revenue is needed, Phil has repeatedly said any tax increases should only be on the top 1% of California taxpayers, which means people making more than about $500,000 a year.

When you hear “taxes, taxes, taxes,” remember these facts: There are 7 million people in California who don't have health insurance. More than 13% of the state’s residents live in poverty. The cost of living is skyrocketing for families, putting the typical California middle-class dream out of reach for millions of people year after year. Meanwhile, wages remain stagnant for those at the bottom of the economic scale, under a Governor who has twice vetoed a minimum wage increase.
The vast majority of Californians will not see an income tax increase under Angelides.  If you're one of the top 1% who does, then suck it up, moneybags.  Pay your fair share and shut the fuck up about it.  Quite frankly, I'm sick and tired of rich assholes complaining about having to contribute to the society that enabled them to get rich in the first place.
