Local GOP activist may back Schwarzenegger recall

Mike Spence, of the California Republican Assembly group, says his group is going to discuss supporting the recall campaign at the state GOP convention this weekend . Spence was a delegate to the national GOP convention earier this month.

The story from Capitol Weekly:

The recall campaign, launched by the disgruntled prison guards' union has not been taken seriously thus far, but the endorsement of a GOP group could go a long way towards getting people's attention.

The CRA, which is very conservative, is doubtlessly very unhappy with the governor's proposal to raise the sales tax to close the budget deficit. In the budget negotiations that finally ended last week, Schwarzenegger has consistently been closer to the Democratic proposals than the GOP ones.

But. of course, that is what it takes to get elected as a Republican candidate in a very Democratic state.
