California has about 15 million registered voters.

About 4 million of them are Republicans.
About 5 million of them are Democrats.
The remaining 6 million are independent and non-partisan.

Those are the hearts and minds we are going for.
They are the ones who have been told by the media that Republicans are mean, square, and greedy, and that Democrats are laid back, hip, and caring.

Are any of you starting to understand why we NEED Arnold yet?

What you don't understand is that independents and traditional Slave Party constituencies are ready and willing to support programs and ideas that originate from conservative principles. That is why so many conservative ballot propositions have passed by wide margins in recent years. Californians are more ready to do so than give credence to another "middle of the road" plan than you realize simply because so many deeply believe that both parties are the same and stand for nothing.

Out of your numbers, how many of those "independents" and Democrats actually vote? That is where your case is misleading. Turnout among conservatives, and especially in special elections, is historically higher.
