Gov. Schwarzenegger: “I Take Full Responsibility”
AP reports: “Two days after suffering a stinging election defeat, a conciliatory Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger took responsibility for the failure of his initiatives and said he learned that he needs more patience in seeking government reform.”
“The buck stops with me,” he told reporters Thursday during a Capitol news conference, referring to the clean sweep against his proposals in Tuesday’s special election. “I take full responsibility for this election. I take full responsibility for its failure.”
We would disagree. But that’s another story.
We salute Gov. Schwarzenegger for showing a strength of character not typically seen in politics — and certainly not by any of his opponents.

I’d have to disagree with the Gov. as well. Wouldn’t the “blame” go to the voters? Regardless, perhaps the Gov. may know something we don’t, like that he didn’t promote his initiatives in the proper way, enough, etc. Who knows. I think it’s great that he’s taking responsibility, but the voters bear the brunt of it.
