Now that tapes of Enron employees have proven that they
were intentionally gouging California in 2001 and literally creating the so-called energy crisis, can we have our governor back? I WANT THE GOVERNOR WHO I VOTED FOR, GREY DAVIS, BACK!!!!!!!!!

1. I'm sorry

you should have convinced 2,000,000 other Californians that this was
a scam...

still, Davis buckled under the pressure and signed the damn contracts
and didn't really explain what was really happening.

In addition, while the privatization of the energy sources happened
on Pete Wilson's watch, Davis had ample warning (San Diego 2 years
before the state wide crisis) and could have led the charge to
re-regulate before it got out of hand. He didn't.

But, yeah, I want him back too. Did my part.

2. I thought those were energy traders....
Not enron employeess....but that doesn't matter.

As another poster mentioned San Diego went through this crap 2 years before the state did and we were assured time and again that problems had been resolved.

Gray Davis was about as ethical as Bob Torricelli.
