LA Times: Arnold reshuffles team/Dems will tie Arnold to Wilson

[CMT]

Arnold has demoted one top strategist and has brought in "several key aides to former Governor Pete Wilson" to run his campaign. Turning Day to day operations over to Wilson people. Also, this story says that Maria Shriver is going to be taking a much more active role in the campaign.

I think Dems need to really campaign hard against Wilson and Arnold as his stooge. As this article makes clear the party needs to remind voters that it was Wilson who campaigned and supported Prop 187, It was Wilson who signed the Energy Deregulation Law and it was Wilson who signed the legislation which led to the tripling of the states car tax.

They must tie Arnold to Pete Wilson.

1. Is Maria a Repub, or is she just playing the dutiful wife?

Judis Maximus may have some competition if she has turned to the dark side.

3. I think it's the latter

She's givin' off that Stepford vibe.

4. You've got a point.

5. she's playing the dutiful wife

she really hasn't said that much about the whole thing and she did give Arianna a big hug when she went to file for governor

She has too much to lose if Ahnuld wins. Do you think that she wants to give up her NBC job and sit in Sacramento doing ribbon cutting ceremonies?

2. Bush surrounded himself by losers too.

And the media spinned it as a "good thing."
