Schwarzenegger is kicking ass. Angelides is down by somewhere between 10 and 15 points and is flailing.

This points towards two key trends that if they hold steady, will mean President McCain in '08 and a renaissance of reasonable politics. This trends are:

1. A reassertion of the business wing of the Republican party along with a reevaluation of the value of reason.

2. The continuing self-destructiveness of the Democrats.

Let's remember that Schwarzenegger is whooping a Democrat in a highly Dem state. This highlights the power of the center, even for Republicans. If a Republican can take California, there is almost no purpose in running a campaign for a Democrat. This will become clear even to the theocratic wing of the Republican party. A reasonable centrist Republican can waltz to a victory if point number two stays firm.

The Democrats are idiots right now. You've heard me bemoan that fact many times recently. I believe in two strong parties, and the Democrats, though stronger than the Reps right now, are a weak party. The best thing for the Republicans is if the Dems whoop ass in November with a bunch of half-wit lefties at the helm. In 2008, the Dems would then think they can win by running left and put up Feingold or someone rediculous like that (I think that Gore or Clinton could win, and Biden could lose with respect), the Reps then put forward McCain or someone perceived as honest, and then trounce the Dems.
