SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) -- It may be that Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the state's Democrats have given up, for now, working out their differences in the Legislature over a series of constitutional amendments to overhaul state government and politics.
Instead of arriving here Friday to promote the Republican governor's plans at the GOP's spring convention, state Republican Party delegates will gird for what they expect will be an unprecedented special election this fall.
"California Republicans are on the offensive," said Ron Nehring, chairman of the San Diego County GOP Central Committee. He said he doesn't believe a compromise with Democrats is likely.
Schwarzenegger has threatened to bypass the Legislature and take his plan to voters in a special election if he cannot get his way with lawmakers.
