*A quick comment on my backing of Poizner. I am backing the Republican candidate in this race because the Democratic candidate, Cruz Bustamante (California's current Lieut. Governor), started his campaign for this office by accepting $120,000 from insurance companies. Although he has since given the money back, I am uncomfortable giving my vote to a guy who is so cozy with the insurance special interests - the very people he would be relegating. I'll hold my nose, but Poizner gets my vote.
