Schnur on Angelides

Republican political consultant Dan Schnur has penned a column picking apart Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides. There are really only two things you need to know about Phil Angelides: he’s not Arnold Schwarzenegger and he wants to raise taxes on rich people. Schnur later adds this: In other words, given the opportunity, most people will vote to tax the rich. But they’re much less likely to vote for a politician who wants do it for them. It may be a matter of trust. It may be a reluctance to cede control of the decision. But the political graveyards are full of former candidates who thought that one voter tendency necessarily led to the other.
