World's biggest political whore
This year's award for the above title will no doubt go to Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, who used to be against Prop. 93, saying he wouldn't support it unless it included redistricting reform. But not only has he flip-flopped on this issue, he's now actively shilling it. He explains his decision in an op-ed piece in the LA Times "written" by Schwarzenegger.
When Proposition 93 was first introduced, I said I would not support it without a companion redistricting measure. Though some progress was made last year on that issue, we have not been able to agree on a redistricting measure in the Legislature; I'm supporting a proposal that was drafted by reform allies including AARP, Common Cause and the League of Women Voters. But Proposition 93 is good public policy irrespective of redistricting, and on its own, it will go a long way toward improving the quality of state government in California

As The Who once put it, "Now the party on the left, is the party on the right ..."
