Is Ross Working For Ross Or Cruz ?
Note from a political junkie
observing the recall scene:
I've read that Ross is
a high-powered, hardball type
influential guy at the Capitol.
Ok, makes sense for Cruz
to pick him as campaign manager
just like it was smart for Arnold
to pick an experienced
campaign team.
But Arnold's team didn't
advise Arnold to flagrantly
violate campaign finance laws.
What's Ross thinking?
Is Ross thinking of
his client's welfare
or of his own?
The campaign finance issue
has really hurt Cruz, but
Ross may get credit from the Dems
for defeating Prop 54 !
Plus, party people who consider
Cruz disloyal might be pleased
with Ross' careless stewardship
of Cruz campaign.
Makes you wonder about picking
a manager who's smarter, more
ruthless, and better connected
than you are. If Ross is calling
the shots and Cruz is following
Ross' bad judgement calls, then
maybe it shows that Cruz really
isn't a strong enough leader.
That really does appear to be
the strength of Arnold's candidacy.
I saw him at the Memorial Auditorium
yesterday and he walks and talks
like the boss.
