Here are some excerpts:
Los Angeles Assemblywoman Jackie Goldberg and others discussed holding up
the budget to dramatize the consequences and build support for a ballot
initiative that would make it easier to raise taxes.
Fabian Nunez, also of Los Angeles, agreed. "If you don't have a budget, it
helps Democrats," he said.
"Excuse me, guys, you can be heard outside," an unidentified staff member
said.
"Oh [expletive], [expletive]," Goldberg said.

This sure sounds very similar to all of the hand-wringing that's going on in
Dem circles across the country as they sit hoping the economy doesn't
improve before November '04.
