...Well, I know. Hell, I could have campaigned on the same things he campaigned on. The only difference was he forgot them between Plains and Washington. He's done virtually a 180° turnaround on almost everything he said he was going to do. Again, I just plead my record. In California, I kept trying to do the things I said I was going to. He had a record and, damn it, he was not a good Governor. Streamlining government, for example. He did not streamline government. He just bunched up a whole lot of departments under one title...

Automakers sometimes use forced plant closings caused by sluggish auto sales to unload a lemon facility. Ford, for example, decided two weeks ago to shut the gates of its huge Mahwah, N.
