There was no reason to keep him in office...

Why hasn't that same tactic been applied to our Republican politicians?
How much more efficient is the bureaucracy in the state of California now, than it was under Davis?
At least, Davis was starting to get the idea of sounder economic principles before he was voted out. None of the Republican governors have any idea of what sound economic policies are, or are simply towing the federally (federales) line without having to produce any positive results for our tax dollars.

Governor Schwarzenegger was elected, in part, on the notion that Governor Davis improperly handled the energy deregulation crisis of 2000 and 2001. However, Arnold is proposing the same deregulation agenda that got California into the energy crisis in the first place. This shouldn't come as a surprise, as Arnold's lead advisor has been former Governor Pete Wilson who negotiated and signed the disastrous deregulation plan in 1996. And, of course, Arnold met privately with deregulation guru and well-known corporate crook, Ken Lay, during the energy crisis.
