Answer 1

Honey, you posted this is Beauty & Style. Most of us don't have a cotton-pickin' idea about how to write a paper on gubernatorail campaigns or sales tax initiatives, but we can SURE tell you how to wax your bikini line, what colors are great for this fall and how much Nicole Richie weighs. Try posting elsewhere, wish I could help.

Answer 2

You've got some serious problems. You can't even spell the candidates names. Y!A is not the place to have other people do your research hours before a paper is due. Have you heard of newspapers? A Sunday paper probably could have done a lot for you. You seriously need to get your act together. If you think you're stressed now, just imagine life at minimum wage.

I'm not giving you this kick in the rear to be cruel. Someone needs to get you started, but you have work to do.

Answer 3

Just write that they differ because arnold has a history of not raising taxes but phin whatever his name is wants to raise them. Throw in Phin's proposal to dismantle Proposition 13. talk about how great arnold is for california and he could beat the other guy up and you will get a A++

Answer 4

First of all you could find more info if you spelled the candidates names properly and Secondly, you can google anything by inputting the names of who you are looking for.

Phil Angelides -- the former Democratic party chair and twice elected state treasurer -- emerged the survivor Tuesday of a wicked mano a mano brawl with state Controller Steve Westly for his party's gubernatorial nomination.

And no one could have been more pleased than Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who is waiting in the wings to take him on in November.

"When it comes to Angelides, it would be hard to single out his biggest liability because he's a walking Achilles heel,'' said Garry South, the chief strategist for the Westly campaign. "Arnold and his Karl Rove-trained wrecking crew will tear the guy apart, atom by atom...he won't know what hit him.''

Angelides will face the same questions from Republicans that he faced from the Controller about his background as a developer -- and as a Democrats who has talked openly about raising taxes.

The Angelides' campaign spent an estimated $28 million on his campaign and got a desperately needed $10 million from an independent expenditure committee put together by Sacramento developer -- and long-time Angelides mentor and partner -- Angelo Tsakopoulous. That compared to the estimated $42 million collected by Westly, with more than $35 million coming from his personal bank account.

Most of the money was used to buy television ads when the Angelides campaign being steamrolled by Westly's self-financed TV campaign.

"Clearly, the unprecedented independent expenditure ... was a key factor in keeping him alive, and putting him in a position to win,'' said Phil Trounstine, who heads the Survey and Policy Research Institute at San Jose State University.

The downside for Angelides is that political opponents can now paint him as "a wholly owned subsidiary of Angelo Tsakopolous and his daughter," he said. "I can't imagine Schwarzenegger wouldn't use it in a campaign.''

"Angelides can't talk about special interests if he's running against Schwarzenegger,'' said Trounstine, "because he's a creation of an individual special interest. It weakens his hand enormously."

The state treasurer bested Westly in a raucous Democratic gubernatorial campaign that pitted old school politics -- endorsements, labor, and money behind a Sacramento political veteran -- against the new school politics of a wealthy former Silicon Valley tech executive who cast himself as a "new kind" of political outsider.

Angelides "did it the old fashioned way -- through organization and machine politics turnout,'' said Bill Whalen, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution. "It means the teachers and SEIU (Service Employees International Union) and the usual suspects delivered.''

GOP strategist Dan Schnur said the wave of negative ads which flooded the airwaves, many accusing the state treasurer of being a polluting ex-developer, may actually have helped Angelides.

"If you assume a negative campaign drives down voter turnout, it means that the most ideologically intense voters make up a disproportionate share of the electorate,'' said Schnur. "So between a union get-out-the-vote machine and the more dedicated liberal wing of the party, the nature of this mudfest definitely worked in Angelides favor. I'm surprised Westly allowed himself to get drawn into it, because the voters he needed to win were less likely to turn out.''

For Angelides, 52, the win in the brutal primary indeed may well have underscored both his strengths -- powerful party stalwarts, and progressive labor advocates who came to his aid -- and what could be his biggest vulnerabilities against Schwarzenegger.


But on Election Day, as he cast his ballot in a suburban Sacramento senior citizens complex -- ending nearly a year of non-stop battling for the Democratic nomination, Angelides appeared eager to take on the next fight with Schwarzenegger.

"I'm ready to go,'' he said, adding that after the months of campaigning he felt "more energized more alive, more full of belief.''

"I'm turned on about what we can do,'' the treasurer said. "This is going to be a heck of a fall campaign.''
