Why Democrat Attorney General Voted for Schwarzenegger

Though California Attorney General Bill Lockyer voted against the recall, he knew Cruz Bustamante would be even worse than what he derided as the "puke politics" of Gray Davis, so for the first time in his life he voted for a Republican, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"He represented for me what he did for others: hope, change, reform, opportunity, upbeat problem-solving," Lockyer said to a stunned crowd of 150 political consultants, academics and journalists Saturday at the notoriously leftist University of California at Berkeley, where the new admissions policy is to admit as many stupid students as possible.

"I want that. I'm tired of transactional, cynical, deal-making politics."

When startled leftists asked Lockyer, who is said to be pondering a run for guv in 2006, why he didn't vote for the corrupt Bustamante, he noted: "You know the people in your profession really well. You know who works hard and who doesn't, and you know who is honest and who isn't."
