I wouldn't call Arnold's campaign nearly flawless. It started off stumbling at every turn. But in the end, they stayed focused and on message. Having $18 million to spend, didn't hurt Arnold's chances either. And the truth is, most folks voted YES on recall to remove Boy Davis, not to see Arnold get elected.
The campaign is over. Let's see if Arnold and the Wilsonite's can balance the budget, without reverting to tax increases. Tom Mcclintock campaigned on reducing spending 9.5% over an 18 month period to balance the books. Arnold has said education budget is off limits. Some economic estimates say, Arnold will have to cut spending on whats left in the state budget, by 25% to balance the books. We shall see.

Lets see what Arnold will do. The things that count are the things he does when his hand leaves the Bible and he is the new Governor. We will judge him by that and that alone. I believe if anyone can fix things it will be an outsider who can bridge party lines. I also feel its going to be a fun ride to watch.

Ummm hmmm. The design of the election was such that anyone could have voted to remove Davis without voting to seat Arnold in his place. The fact they did the latter shows that they both voted YES on recall to remove Boy Davis AND to see Arnold get elected.

Arnold got more votes and a higher percentage of the total than Gray Davis received in the 2002 general election.
If the people did not want to see Arnold get elected, why did they vote for him?
