Just a quick note to California Political Reporters, especially those of you attending the Republican Part-ay in San Jose:

Will the Governor get a nice reception in the hall? Of course he will. You’ve all seen Schwarzenegger stagecraft before. Remember the so-called town halls packed with Chamber officials and local GOP activists last year?

But, after the bad karaoke music stops at the GOP convention and all of the college kids hired to hold signs and cheer for the "bold leader with big ideas" go back to school, -- (Hey! What ever happened to blowing up those boxes?) -- will the Governor and his fresh faced army from the Rove school of compassionate politics have achieved all their goals?

Let’s see –

1) Repair his relationship with the base. After they bought off McClintock, one assumes that should be a piece of cake, no? They desperately want to check that one off.

2) Red meat to the crowd speech. Check. (Puuhleeze…they wrote that in the car on the way from the airport.)

3) Get those Republican votes for his bond package. Che… Oh wait…

So, before you all put pen to paper and write about how the Governor has regained his footing and brought in a disciplined army that can do rapid response in their sleep, just remember that the Governor has had a full two months of positive TV coverage with his face on every newscast for weeks talking about infrastructure and his numbers dropped like a Republican lawyer at a quail hunt.

And don’t hold your breath for a list of the Republican members who have signed on to vote for the Governor’s bond package…
