Yep. And Arnold wants to ditch gerrymandering. What that won't do is get a lot of conservatives elected in this state.

It may or may not elect conservatives. Why fear competition? If more districts are made competitive, there are more opportunities for Republicans and conservatives.

Look what gerrymandering has gotten us: The Democrats have a very nearly two-thirds super-majority in the legislature. And, worse of all, the Democrats in the legislature are extremists and obstructionists who refuse to address things like prison overcrowding, attempts to fiercely protect pedophiles and worse.

People complain about Arnold, sure, but Angelides was the other choice. And if it comes between Arnold and Boxer in 2010, who would you rather have in the U.S. Senate between them? I'd rather have Arnold.

I'm finding a lot of cowardice here. People scream that a "real conservative" would win and yet are afraid of an opportunity to put those conservative candidates to the test before the voters.
