DescriptionSACRAMENTO -- Overwhelming voter mandate or not, some of the Democratic lawmakers who are key to a success-ful Schwarzenegger administration said Wednesday the outcome of the recall disgusted them -- so much that at least one may quit.

Aides to Sen. John Vasconcellos confirmed the liberal San Jose Democrat called Republican Governor-elect Arnold Schwarzenegger "a boob," said voters "made a mistake," and announced that when the Legislature reconvenes in January, "I'm not sure I'll go back."

Other liberal legislators, from the Bay Area and elsewhere, apparently are thinking about skipping Schwarzenegger's January State of the State address -- his blueprint for working with the Legislature to tackle California's deficit and other woes -- because they believe he will have nothing to tell them.
