Election '06 | Despite predictions of his political demise, Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger looks like a shoo-in for a second term | Lynn Vincent

Angelides, a liberal Democrat who currently serves as California state treasurer, is challenging the incumbent Schwarzenegger, a centrist Republican whose popularity has waxed and waned in the state. But the governor has over the past few months looked mighty liberal himself: He hiked the state's minimum wage to the highest in the land; extended joint-tax-filing status to same-sex couples; and signed legislation to cut greenhouse-gas emissions. He's also teamed with Democratic lawmakers to support a bond package designed to raise money for state projects, leaving Angelides to issue a statement in which he claimed that he'd had the idea first.
