She uses the same talking points, as Bush & Schwarzenegger, ''America (Cal-eeee-fornee-uhhh) is addicted to spending.''

Now she's using this textbook Bush PR move: supposedly improv events that are actually tightly scripted.

Next we'll probably see Jeff Gannon pitching soft-ball questions and giving her http://mysite.verizon.net/myk15/bushhugsmanho.html">his other services in private.

2. Well that ad worked wonders for Republican nominee Steve Poizner
Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, was blasted for having plants at her town meetings, and she also paid for airtime on the Hallmark Channel with a one hour town meeting. As I remember the questions were all pretty buddy buddy.

5. Poisner is the GOP candidate
He's the one with the big backing. Basically, if you're a Republican, you get to choose a wingnut or a corporate shill. NEXT!
