UPDATE here is a great diary comparing the two candidates and why you should support Angelides.
Angelides has great positions on the issues, and Gov. Schwarzenegger leaves much to be desired.
Positions that Angelides takes that are different from Arnold
Yes on Prop. 87, alternative energy Al Gore ran his first TV ad in 6 years in support of this.
Yes on Prop. 89, campaign financing
Supports gay marriage
Supports universal health care
Supports indexing minimum wage to inflation
A true supporter of the environment, unlike phony Arnold
Other ways that he's different;
Opposes Prop. 85(parental notification). Arnold backed similar Prop. last year, but hasn't taken a stand on this Prop. Backed by CA GOP.
Opposes Prop. 90(eminent domain trojan). Arnold hasn't taken a stand, backed by CA GOP.
Unlike Arnold, not a corrupt asshole.
A lot of great links. Worth checking out.
Also
this diary was on the top of the recc'd list yesterday showing how two-faced Schwarzenegger is about the environment. It just underlines the fact that that he is a conservative in moderate's clothing.
