anyone argue campaign dispute few led million oppose reforms shown sign slowing union unions wait wants
I don't think anyone would dispute that the campaign to oppose these reforms has been led by the union bosses. If anyone wants to argue that it is $96 million or $100 million, wait a few days. The unions have shown no sign of slowing down.
agenda believes campaign governor heard learn people reform reforms union
So far, this campaign has been very one-sided; the only thing the people have heard about the governor's reform agenda is what they heard from union bosses. Now, they will hear from the governor and learn why he believes these reforms are critical.
ad ads again ask campaigns change election feature hours lead rotation spots station takes television time
It often takes sometimes up to 48 hours for a television station to change your ad rotation after you ask them. Campaigns change their ads all the time to lead up to Election Day, and this is nothing more than that. We will change our rotation again before Election Day, and we will have other spots that feature the governor.

The proliferation of signs diminishes our landscape and has become a kind of visual pollution. I personally find campaign signs obtrusive, so you won't be seeing my name plastered all over the village.
broken campaign choice confident election forward moving offer quo reform state status voters voting
This campaign is going to offer voters a choice between real reform and moving the state forward or the status quo and more of the same old broken system. I am confident that come Election Day, Californians will be voting for reform.
campaign exactly given happy leave message political side
Californians are not happy with the way things are in Sacramento, which bodes well for whichever side is campaigning for change.

asks ballot campaigns democratic general months poll primary special stock three voters
I'm not going to put any stock in a poll that asks voters what they think of a hypothetical ballot matchup that is 14 months and three statewide campaigns away. We've got to get through the special election, the Democratic primary and then a hypothetical general election.
cutting people smear-campaigns
They've been very helpful. They allow voters to cut through the din and clutter of the $100-million smear campaign the unions have been waging against the governor, and they allow voters to hear directly from the people who are for change and from people who are against change.
choice given public stark
The public will be given a stark choice,

came coached core couple group kids last league rest team variety
Our team was really a combination from a variety of different teams. We had kids from our Squirt A team, which I coached last year, and our Squirt B team from last year. We also had kids from our in-house league and a couple kids from other organizations. The core group came from Squirt A, and the rest came from the other places. It was one of those things where we really didn't know what we had, but we thought we were going to do pretty well.
question voters winning
There's no question that independent voters are an important part of our winning formula.

We had to weather the beating that we took.
