Compare the candidates

Re “Angelides Inspires Growing Concern,” Sept. 23

Instead of writing a process story about what is or is not happening inside the Angelides campaign, The Times ought to be focusing on the striking differences between the two candidates. For example, Democratic gubernatorial candidate Phil Angelides has pledged to roll back tuition increases in the University of California and California State University systems. Furthermore, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger believes strongly in President Bush’s failed occupation of Iraq, whereas Angelides adamantly opposes the occupation.

College students like myself across California recognize these stark differences. I implore The Times to start reporting them.

The only TV ad I’ve seen from Angelides’ campaign is Schwarzenegger shouting “George W. Bush!” If this is all the Democrats have, then there is no hope for them.
