My understanding is that part of the anger with Davis is that he "hid" how bad the budget was until after his re-election. On Bill Maher Friday, Davis attributed that to his budget director, who was in charge of the number-crunching.

But at the time of the announcement of the numbers the accusation was also one of "Oh, sure, he's making the numbers sound really bad, but you watch, in 6 months or a year's time he'll come back and say, 'Guess what! The numbers are not so bad afterall! What a great governor I am!'" So, there was no way anyone could have won on that topic.

Which brings us to the cost of this election: The original number I heard Davis throw out was $30-35 million. Now it could apparently run $60 million plus.

Which a lot of people who's political philosophy requires fiscal responsibiliy as the number one principle say "Eh, it's not so much." Which to me sounds more like, "It's not so much if we can have ARNIE in office!"
