You're absolutely right.

One thing I'd like to point out to people is simply this: having a Republican, even a RINO, in office in California will get the populace used to voting Republican again. Regardless of Arnold's political views, in the long run, that is not a bad thing at all and can be a springboard to slowly turning the population of California more towards the conservative side over the coming years and decades. Given the size of California's voting block, that's a long term investment that every conservative should be willing to make, even if it means we have to support a RINO in the short term.

Just suppose, for the sake of argument, that he pulls a Jeffords when he gets elected? Seems like a big possibility given his cozyness with the Kennedys.

Voting is a reflexive action in California...

...that's...so...cute.

Y'all deserve what's happened, we don't. So join Mexico and begone.

You said exactly what I have been trying to say, only far more eloquently.

In other words, yeah... ditto!

HERE HERE.....

If Arnie can IMPROVE the state even a little and it shows, he will be re-elected.

If it improves some more and Arnie is still the likable guy he is, the mod to slightly left DEMS will say, "Well, maybe Republicans ain't so bad after all."

It is a long shot but so was RR the first time he ran as a Republican.

The tide is turned. The people are not happy with the same ol' DEMS. Soc Security argument ain't working for them. Reps starving old people ain't working anymore. People like their taxes lowered. There is still water on the beach. But there is more beach showing everyday.
