Just a few days left now before the May election, but for this one, there just aren’t a lot of winners, either way.  But, there are things going on. Here are a few:

• The Emanuel Pleitez campaign has released a musical video, it’s an Obama-esque video about bringing voice to the people.

• The 15 Day Close Registration Report is now available from the Secretary of State. Registration is down ever so slightly, at 73.35% of eligible voters. The partisan breakdown now stands at 44.55% D, 31.05% R, 20.03%DTS. Modoc County has the highest percentage of Republicans, at 49.86%, Alameda has the highest percentage of Democrats at 57.82%.

• Arnold thinks he is qualified to give out tips for success.  Well, if you consider making a mildly bad budget a disaster a success, then by all means feel free to follow Arnold’s tips for greatness. Speaking of Arnold’s success, he has another recall petition filed against him.

• Instead of arguing over whether hand gestures always connote gang signs, perhaps Gil Cedillo and the rest of the candidates in CA-32 could comment on the video of the El Monte police officer kicking a suspect in the head.  El Monte is square in the middle of the district.

• The California Chamber of Commerce posted its bills they won’t let the Governor sign, also known as “job killer” bills.  The Governor has almost unanimously responded to this list by vetoing every bill on it that reaches his desk.  Yes, he’s famously independent, that one.

• The No on Prop 1D Campaign released an ad rebutting Arnold’s “argument” for the props.

• Yay! Schwarzenegger people think they can cut even more under Prop 98. Because, you know, education funding is optional in the Yacht Zombie Land. Apparently, a little math can lower the Prop 98 floor. I’m sure there are some lawyers out there right now who are figuring out just how wrong he is on legal grounds. On moral grounds, there can be no question.
