Smokers' Tax Foolhardy Idea
Watching the California recall debate, we heard Cruz Bustamante give his ideas for balancing the budget: Increase cigarette and alcohol taxes and raise income taxes on the state's wealthiest 4%.
A smoker's tax hurts the poor. Cruz should come up with a new plan.
Arianna's attacks on Arnold's treatment of women were in poor taste and in our view, backfired.
Bustamante was good on health care for children of undocumented residents, but his delivery lacked passion.

Based on this debate, we have to say we think if the recall succeeds, Arnold will win the Governor's race. We like Arnold, but our opinion remains the same: Vote no on recall.
