He's been a candidate less than a week, you've been here less than two days, and today you're posting an article about how you have "slowly come to the conclusion" that you are "now behind Arnold."
Sorry, that doesn't ring true.
"Slowly" is non-operative in this scenario. Anyone now committed to Arnold before knowing much of anything about his agenda is a headlong bandwaggoneer.
Arnold's candidacy has been in the collective concious since before the recall even started. There was even a cover story in Vanity Fair was a few months ago about Arnold being the next Governor of California. So it is really disingenuous to insinuate that he just popped up out of nowhere 2 weeks ago. Just as it is disingenuous to insinuate as I gave my very first thoughts to politics the day I joined this forum.
The whole reason why I am behind Arnold now is only in part due to his impressive popularity. The main reason is because he is the only Republican who will not do harm to Republicans by winning.
These ideas that Arnold may dilute the pool coming from the "true conservatives" is nonsense. I'd rather have "RINOs" voting for Republicans than have them as Democrats voting against them. Period. And besides, the religious-right could use a little counter-balance anyways.
Maybe then some of the electable candidates could make it out of the Republican primaries.
