San Ramon Mayor Abram Wilson is running to replace Guy Houston in the State Assembly.  Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger endorsed Wilson today.  Today.  One week before the general election.  He is swinging by a Wilson fundraiser tomorrow evening when he’s in the neighborhood to help raise money for Prop. 11. But as Republicans struggle to keep, much less gain, seats in the State Legislature, you would think that our GOP governor would be working hard to help get fiscally conservative legislators elected.  Especially since we’re looking at another ugly budget fight as soon as the new legislature takes office. 

Perhaps this is just the way life is in a post-partisan world.  But if Schwarzenegger is not willing to help a Bay Area Republican who has a host of bi-partisan endorsements, he deserves the pro-big government, high taxes, high spending Democratic-controlled legislature he’ll end up with next year.
