PRESTOPUNDIT -- "It's a team sport, baby!"

"businesses manipulate government for their own benefit" -- hmmm. Was Bruce Bartlett writing about LA Chamber of Commerce? The Chamber has come out in favor of Davis and against the recall.

I imagine their thinking goes something like this: Gray Davis is a really lousy governor, but he's our (the Chamber's bought and paid for) really lousy governor. We can't afford to buy and pay for him a third time -- the problems of the state aren't important enough to be worth that.

Worth quoting from the Chamber press release:

That is not to say that we agree with all that Gov. Davis has done during his five years in office. We have our policy differences with him in many areas. From workers' compensation to over regulation, from labor laws to energy, from a penchant for fund raising to a lack of leadership, Gov. Davis could have done a better job for our state.
