Schwarzenegger Expert: Redistricting Effort "Doomed"

Joe Mathews, author of "Party of One," a profile on Schwarzenegger's early years as governor, writes in the "Fox and Hounds" blog (one dominated by Arnold allies) that the Voters First initiative is "doomed to failure."
 
Writes Mathews: "The measure was doomed the moment the California Democratic Party opposed it last weekend. The Democrats will call it partisan, and it will go down in the Obama onslaught. To have any chance at succeeding, a redistricting initiative needs more than bipartisan support. It needs partisan acquiescence. And this measure doesn't have that."
