Where's Arnie?
Is Gov. Arnold afraid to leave California because of what Bustamonte does when he leaves?
Not saying that Governors aren't important, but where are some bigger names - Is Guiliani out a lot, and where is Arnold? Zell miller needs to get out also, he did great at the convention. Have you noticed that no senators except the RINO McCain is helping Bush. Whats up with that?
Santorum is great, Jeff Sessions, Norm Coleman, J. C. Watts,Duke Cunningham, George Allen gosh I can think of a lot of Washingtion people that would really help
I was really hoping that Arnold would make some west coast appearances with the pres.
Places like Eugene and Portland Oregon.
Haley's on team 7!
arnold gave one of the great speeches of the Convention on what it means to be an American....I have been saying all month...BRING OUT THE GUNS! GET ARNIE and RUDY and ZELL ROLLIN again!!!!
If Arnold isn't prepared to put it on the line for his party's nominee when it matters most, then he isn't the sort of leader a lot of us believe him to be. Nor would he be as smart a politician as his PR would have us believe.
Bush is the most beloved Republican presidential candidate since Reagan. Loyalty to Bush by notable Republicans in positions of influence is very important to grassroots activists and regular donors. If Arnold is conspicuously absent from the closing days of the Bush campaign, it will not be forgotten.
This is impressive. It is a huge tribute by his former peers.
We don't hear about these type of events from the lame-stream media unfortunately.
bttt
Yeah, leadership does matter. That's why the Democrat party is a mess.
