You do have a problem.

The Recall is now a fact. For the first time in Californian history a Recall Effort has brought about a general election that could remove a governor from office.

Exactly why, if elected, will Arnold increase the republican image and numbers?

Simply because he's a Republican and because he's in office?

That is simply naiive and ignores a tremendous amount of history suggesting otherwise. Not opinions...not theories...history.

In California...the "far right" doesn't have even a tenuous grip on the Republican party.

We told you that already too...so...at this point I'm left to conclude your recalcitrance is willful ignorance or the defiant "rebellion" of an adolescent.

It's funny to see you Liberals try to persuade Republicans that they're working too hard to be Conservative in California when...in actual fact...it hasn't been attempted yet. Oh...you might consider Simon an attempt, but what Simon proved is that RINOs are Liberal first, Republican second. They proved it when they sabotaged his campaign against DAVIS.

My "buddies"? Surely you don't think I am pals with all 193 other candidates on the ballot, do you?

Now, I supported the recall, and I support it still. But as it has been repeatedly pointed out, the recall couldn't have qualified had there not been widespread support far beyond only the conservatives. The conservatives may have "bought" the recall, all Davis lackeys would say, but they do not own it.
It belongs to all Californians, and it seems like that's the part that you're not getting here.

I beg to differ. I consider the "far-right" to be anyone whose main issue is abortion and social issues. So to distinguish from mainstream conservatives are concerned primarily with economics/fiscal policy.
If the the "far right" didn't hold the party at gun-point, then why did a proven hands-on fiscal manager like Riordan lose out to a light-weight delegater like Simon in the primary, all due to his stance on abortion?

It's funny to see you Liberals..."

So in my time here I've been called everything from a shill for McClintock, to a shill for Arnold/Karl Rove, from being a political operator to being an amateur, from being a pragmatist to a "RINO", to now even a liberal.

Looks like you've tried attacking me from every angle.
Great! That only proves my effect.
