I am very concerned about the united front against Schwarzenegger that is starting to solidify from the conservative base.
Let's get this straight - it can only have two possible effects: either none at all, or it can ensure a Democrat victory.

The mass hysteria may sour when he must answer questions. Kinda like when Perot did the dance-folks just ran away.

And yet Californians have elected Gray Davis twice.
So I can't imagine that you could possibly mean he may come across as too liberal.

So perhaps you mean he might just come across unprepared or fumbling?
I very much doubt that possibility, since he is being groomed by a team of very politically savvy people, and he himself is a man of solid convictions. All he really needs to do to win is say *something* and be confident when he does.

And what makes you think that if people run away they will run to one of the conservatives?

I think his coalition of support would shatter evenly across the field, and Simon and McClintock will keep each other from surpassing Cruz "Mexifornia" Bustamante.
