Condi bows out (again)
The contributors to the FlashReport can breath a sigh of relief. As you know, our primary focus on 
this sight is California politics. Well, a Californian running for President would pretty much make us a national website! That said, the only Californian who has seriously been discussed as a candidate for the Presidency is Secretary of State Dr. Condoleezza Rice. (As a matter of fact, Dick Morris has written an entire book on her candidacy – oops.) Dr. Rice, in a speech yesterday, made it very clear that she does NOT want to seek the Presidency, or Vice Presidency for that matter. Rice was on the faculty and in the administration at Stanford University for years before being tapped first as W’s National Security Advisor, and then as SoS.
BIG BOND Cattle Call
As we mentioned in yesterday’s commentary, the Governor’s massive spending proposal has started a massive feeding-frenzy among Democrats in the state legislature. There is so much borrowing going on that now those interests that are not ‘traditional infrastructure’ are screaming for their share of the booty. The whole thing would be funny if it weren’t so sad. The reality is that these massive bonds should be DOA with two unified Republican caucuses committed to preventing the necessary two-thirds votes. But, our favorite axiom comes into play: No one has the ability to grow government more than a Republican Chief Executive. Sigh.
