Can Arnold Schwarzenegger Pick Up the Pieces?

Hosted by
More than one newspaper headline calls Governor Schwarzenegger "humbled" by yesterday's loss of all four propositions in his so-called "year of reform." Speaking to his supporters last night and acknowledging that Californians are tired of confrontation, the Governor called for an end to partisanship in Sacramento and promised to cooperate with the Democrats from now on. Tomorrow, Schwarzenegger will meet with Democrat and Republican leaders of both the Assembly and Senate. We speak with two veteran leaders and strategists in both parties about what's next in Sacramento.
