From the Sacramento Bee:
Lieutenant governor appointee Abel Maldonado said yesterday he’s planning to run for a full term at the post in 2010, even if he isn’t confirmed by his fellow lawmakers.
“If I’m good enough to be nominated, I’m good enough to run,” the Republican senator told The Fresno Bee editorial board yesterday.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger announced late last month that Maldonado is his pick to fill the post vacated by former “Lite Guv” John Garamendi who was elected to Congress in November. Schwarzenegger’s Nov. 23 announcement set off a 90-day window for the legislature to approve or reject the nomination.
