>>>He should be Keynote Speaker.

That is the wrong move and would lose Bush-Cheney more votes then they'd gain. Gov Rino's appeal is to liberals, centrists and some moderates. But he doesn't advance the conservative agenda one iota. The conservative agenda is at the core of the GOP party platform.

You are totally full of $hit, and you ought to just shut up since you don't live in California. Arnold has already saved the state from certain financial disaster. He has cut spending and he will not raise taxes.

California doesn't need a preacher, it needs a governor.

[Miss Marple]

Since I am not a Californian, I wouldn't presume to criticize the governor that most of them seem happy with.

An old saying applies here: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

I imagine Arnold will be given a prime-time speaking slot, whether it is the keynote or not. And I dare say he will do more for the party than Pat Buchanan did when HE was given a prime-time spot.

You are a political neophyte. Just from your comments it is apparent that you've never been physically involved in a single political campaign.

Look, I'm here in Alabama, the most conservative of all conservative states. We have open carry here. We have shall issue. We have tort reform. We have the death penalty. We fight to put the 10 Commandments into courthouses. And no conservative worth his or her salt gives a whit about Arnold's liberal leanings on various issues so long as he doesn't overdo it...because even out here in 'Bama we know that Arnold is the most conservative that California can currently elect.

Arnold repealed California's driver's licenses for illegals. You naive Arnold-bashers can vacuously opine that Arnold is going to pass a new law that gives drivers licenses back to illegals, but that's just talk...his actions were to repeal that law.

Likewise, Arnold repealed California's car tax. Arnold also ordered the gay marriages in San Francisco to be halted, and Arnold is against partial birth abortion.

So rather than act like some spoiled child who only wants the purist of pure leaders, grow up and accept the best that you can get...use that to your advantage...and come back to ask for more later when you have even *more* power.

In other words, let Arnold shine at the Convention, and back him to the hilt until you have a *viable* replacement that works even better than him for his particular area.

If Gov Rino ONLY appeals to liberals, centrists and some moderates how did he win in a landslide?
