Perfection, thy name is Huff

The California Republican Assembly, the premier grassroots conservative group in the state, just came out with their legislative rankings for 2006.   

Heading the list from Orange County is Assemblyman Bob Huff, the new Republican Assembly Caucus Chairman, with a perfect 100 percent average for the 2005-06 session.  Congratulations to Assemblyman Huff for his excellent record in opposition to big government, more debt, and higher taxes!

Assemblywoman Mimi Walters and myself came in a close second with perfect scores this year and 97 percent averages for the 2005-06 session. 

Only five lawmakers received perfect scores this year in comparison to nine in 2005.  The average scores of Republican lawmakers around the state declined considerably, perhaps being pulled left by Governor Schwarzenegger’s liberal tilt after failing to win his reform-driven November 2005 special election.

The following summarizes the ratings from the O.C. delegation:

Ouch. I think you're right Chuck. In fact, didn't Arnold just hire Ms. Daucher?

[What's wrong with Spitzer?]

Looks like Todd is slipping. Why?
