Schwarzenegger says Democratic win is healthy
Thu Nov 9, 2006

"I think it is good that there are new ideas and new blood because Washington was stuck. They could not move forward, not much was accomplished; I think it was terrible," he told reporters on a trip to Mexico....

Schwarzenegger said fellow Republicans could now learn from his change of tack and work with Democrats.

"If anyone in Washington or anyone from other states looks at that, hopefully they got the message also," he said.

Schwarzenegger, 59, boosted his popularity in a state with a majority of Democratic voters by scrapping a confrontational style that led to a complete defeat in a special initiative election last year and by turning on his charm.

He also backed a series of bipartisan laws, including one aimed at cutting the state's greenhouse gas emissions....

4. Hey if it turns out that Pelosi played Kim Brewster and rewired The Terminator that's fine by me

basically I'm not saying I trust the guy but if he wants to suck up and play ball I say give him a uniform and point to left field.

5. So I guess Dems are no longer "girlie men."

Not that I really believe anything that he is saying but, I have to admit I am enjoying the fact that these Repukes are having to eat crow in the wake of this election. :D
