The polls that drive the news, or at least the media's views.

As we see wall to wall coverage of the latest poll showing the Governor approval rating sinking fast, we are also being screamed at by the media, the Democrats and all their minions that the people don't want to waste 80 million dollars on a special election.

Is it just me, or didn't we go through this all during the recall?
The people don't want to waste money on this silly recall, when we have such big budget problems. I remember the headlines and the news stories were almost word for word like this week's headlines. The 80 million (closer to 45 if you believe the Governors numbers) is a drop in the bucket compared to the billions that the Democrats want to spend over the Governors budget.

Most people don't know how much money the State spends. If you asked 100 people at Sunrise Mall this weekend, I would predict 9 people could tell you within 5 billion dollars what we spend. This election will have a very low voter turn out. It will be critical to talk to your neighbors and co-workers about voting.

The future of the State and your checkbook are at stake.
