The governor broke the same applies to the political capital
Dir Arnold Schwarzenegger begins his second term with more political capital for one or the other politicians in America and a clear intention, they spend all.
Within a few days after taking oath for the second time the Republican governor showed a bold second mandate on the agenda, health insurance for all Californians, new prisons, fuel, Standards fight against global warming and a second massive public debt package At the beginning of the 43 billion dollars by voters in the November-choice.
Yes, it is defined an ambitious agenda, “Schwarzenegger said Tuesday night in his State of the State address.” But we have ambitious for California in the future. ”
The governor of the characterization of its agenda would be a sousestimation.
“Maybe we have to find a new word to define what Arnold Schwarzenegger is the case,” said Republican Bill Whalen, an analyst at the Hoover Institution. “Ambitious” can not for her. ”
The former bodybuilder action film has great heraufdämmerte star in the national political landscape since his election in 2003 in mind, if no other reason for his celebrity.
But, say analysts, his election by 17 points victory over Democrat Phil Angelides November established as a major national political force.
“It was chosen as a sort of an accident reminder,” said Republican political analyst Tony Quinn. “Now he had a great new election within a year if the Republicans have cleaned their clocks.
Tuesday, in his speech to the legislation, Schwarzenegger was blatant that, contrary to the Confederation, where President Bush is very unpopular and opinion polls show the new Congress is not democratic in much higher than Republicans have a replacement.
Schwarzenegger takes shape, his re-election as ushering in a period of “post-partisan”, welcomed the state legislative power democratically controlled bipartie to reach agreements with him on several important fronts in 2006.
“The federal government has been paralyzed by the judgement and games,” he said. “But here in this House, acted in the fields of infrastructure, the minimum wage, prescription medication and the costs of reducing greenhouse gases in our atmosphere.
“What it said to people is that we not expect the policy. We expect not to aggravate our problems. We look not on the federal government. We expect not, period. Indeed, the future n ‘not attend. ”
Schwarzenegger is moving aggressively to prevent the second mandate of the woes plagued over the past governors of California. Republican Pete Wilson loses much of his re-election political choice capital for the year 1995 with a lot of short duration and the realization of the campaign for president. And Democrat Gray Davis not once, the first year of his second term, before reminding voters him in 2003.
“It is a fact that he has received only a few years,” said Jack Pitney, professor of government at Claremont McKenna College. “His political capital is more than ever it is now. It would be very difficult for him setting up such an agenda during his last year.
