This is no surprise. All of our private tracks have shown no improvement in the governor's popularity and all of his initiatives are losing.

If there was any visage of bipartisanship left in this governor, I think he's just about put a nail in that coffin.

I'm not surprised people took a break. I think the voters were speaking pretty clearly in November with the force of the 'no' vote.

It's time for him to decide who he really is as governor. He seems to be having a very difficult time in doing that. And until he figures that out, it's really difficult to judge his comments and his actions.

It looks to me like a lot of posturing is going on. A number of initiatives have been filed and counter-filed, so it's unclear how much of this makes it to the ballot.

For a change, we actually have two candidates who have defined themselves, or are trying, as they go along. They don't fit into any classic pattern. They're appealing to more of a broad group, both of them.

It's not hard to get bonds, if you do it in a systematic fashion and you actually engage people for more than ten minutes.

It's a phony election that he creates on issues that every poll says voters don't care about and he's complaining about having to raise money for it?

This governor is spending $80 million of taxpayer money on an election that voters resoundingly have said is unnecessary. That is the most important figure. The rest is campaign rhetoric.

This is the first election that's about him .
