Let's win first!

Then let's give Arnold a chance, instead of crouching into attack mode immediately. If he wins, remember, the Dems are going to start their own attacks.

They will scream "quagmire" in CA, just as they are doing it in Iraq. We all know, that CA can't be turned around on a dime. I think we should support Arnold, I think he is going to get good advisors, but it will take him a few month at the very least to get the lay of the land.

But as I said, let's not jump the gun, let's wait to make sure we really win. We can't count out the Dem voter fraud machine.

Im not saying jump on him on day one or be in attack mode from the get go,, but we do need to be vigilant and not be shy to voice our concerns as things unfold.

He will get his honeymoon period, but like President Bush's, it will be short and the learning curve, very steep. We all know the obstacles this state faces economically.

There will be little time for happy faces and photo ops. Jobs do not grow on trees and neither do businesses. He has set his own standard high. Are we not then allowed to hold him to it?

By the time the budget cycle begins, however, we will have a pretty good idea who he is listening to or seeking guidance and counsel from.

The buffetts and such will hopefully have been moved down the ladder a few rungs or out of the way or it will serve to only raise many's concerns that we may have been snookered again or to question the choice to give him the opportunity to "lead" and not doddle.

Saying that is not an attack,but is a reminder that we are being asked to trust , but I believe in Reagan's version of Trust but Verify more than just blind trust. I'm funny that way, sorry.

I will be as curious as anyone as to who will be on his team of advisors, etc. I would hope that some who were on his initial team will not necessarily be included on his full time team. Also, let's see if the conservatives or "purists" also have their place at the table. After all, they have been asked to climb aboard and support him.

Well, let's see if he really is just saying lip service or does he really mean it. Time will tell, and it won't probably take that long to get the drift of his openness, willingess and ability to deal with the issues at hand without just raising taxes as a first versus last resort.

The demrats will need to be reminded as well of their out and out culpability of putting this state where it is , deep in debt and sucking wind and killing businesses with their lunatic legislation the last few years.
