I was thinking that maybe socially liberal Californians are sick of being gouged by Dems and might go for a guy who is a social liberal and a fiscal conservative (assuming Arnold really is fiscally conservative). At least maybe he could help California climb out of the economic hole Grey-out Davis has been busily digging for 5+ years. Then once Californians realize the GOP candidates are not ..... whatever they think they are-don't know-they might vote in a true conservative-especially love to have conservative senators.

They can't...the two go hand-in-hand for very natural reasons.

Worse...Arnold *isn't* a fiscal conservative. If you were a political saboteur, what better position could you be in than if the guys supporting your views (socialism in this case) were the two primary guys on the ballot from either party?

I don't think that "socially liberal" is even the right word. Based on Arnold's statements, I think he is what I am - socially *tolerant*.

Arnold's position is that he doesn't care who sleeps with whom. After a while, even the most socially conservative person has to come to grips with that fact that they have no control over it, at least in California, and just move on. That Pandora's box was opened a long time ago.

"Social liberals" as I see it are the ones who actually enjoy and participate in the "Pride parade", believe in needle exchange clinics, and support big entitlement programs.

I'm pretty sure Arnold does not support any of these things. If believing that children deserve the very best makes one a liberal, then kiss Tom Delay goodbye.

In fact, kiss most every elected Republican goodbye, because they ALL have paid the same lipservice. And kiss the soccer-mom vote goodbye too.
