The reasons I like him as a candidate have nothing to do with emotional pulp, I promise you LOL

While he's an adequate actor, I was never a fan....he only had my respect in the past for his dedication to the Republican Party. When he threw his hat in the ring, I began doing a great deal of research on his specific political stances... I very much admire his views where he is a conservative, and am resigned to his more liberal social opinions because those will help him get elected in California.

Oh good...so your reasons for voting for Arnold aren't based upon emotional pulp.

However, they can't be based upon anything resembling conservative appeal or you'd have presented it. Which leaves what?

You support him because of his appeal as a liberal?
OR
You support him for the purely superficial aspect that he has an (R) at the end of his name?

The first implies that you oppose conservative policies yourself.

The second implies that you'd gladly vote for Daschle, Gephart, or even Clinton, they were only in the wrong party during the election.

Help me out here...I'm not seeing any valid or reliable basis for a conservative to vote for Arnold. It's a good thing McClintock is still on the ticket or a lot of people would simply stay home.
