DECISION DAY

The only poll that matters will be today's final election results. Nevermind the pundits and analysts. Do your part and vote. If you don't know about a specific candidate or proposition, skip it and vote for the other issues on the list. You won't "spoil" your ballot. (If you're a Francine Busby follower in California's 50th Congressional district, please note: You do need "papers for voting"...that is, you need to be a legal voter, according to United States regulations. ) And a final note to all voters: Do what is right. Don't vote based on emotion and twisted campaign ads. Yes, this election is (for the most part) about Iraq --- but ask yourself: Does the opposition have a plan... or just a plan to "hate Bush"? What would they do about Iraq? Is there a plan?

CALIFORNIA UPDATE: Last-minute campaigning by Arnold and Phil. My prediction: Arnold wins by at least 10 points and helps "down ticket" GOP races, including McClintock for Lt. Gov.
I'll be with Arnold and company in LA, emceeing the Victory Rally tonight (also doing reports on KOGO). www.insidebayarea.com/oaklandtribune/localnews/ci_4610202

THE DEMOCRATS ARE ON THE MARCH... AREN'T THEY? Here's Howard Kurtz' take on the assumptions... and the motivation of some journalists: www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/linkset/2005/04/11/LI2005041100587.html
