Well, now.....Arnold is not going to be able to 'earn' base votes, because his own personal convictions are not very conservative.....other than fiscally.....and he is standing by them.

Well, living in CA I've pretty much heard all he has to say regarding his "fiscal conservatism" and I don't see it. I WANT to, but I don't. He's said he will not raise taxes, unless there's an 'emergency' - and won't define 'emergency'. Not very heartening. He hasn't said much about shrinking the size of government entitlement programs, in fact he's said he intends to maintain some of the more onerous ones. He seems to be riding the fence on the subject of illegals.

This state is in such tough shape I'm afraid electing a moderate R will serve no one but the democrats, who deserve ALL the blame for our problems. He presents very little risk to their ideology, plus he'll provde them political cover.

No, I want a REAL reason to vote for Arnold, insults won't do the job.

Insult? Who was insulting whom?

Personally, I'm glad I don't have to make your choice.

But for me, it would be the bottom line. Who is better? Schwartzenegger or Bustamante? Those are the two candidates who have a shot at winning.

Personally, Arnold's pro-abortion position would be the most troubling for me, but then again, the real choice is between two pro-death candidates, one of whom is better than the other......
