I'll take progress over perfection any day....I like Arnold for what he is trying to do.....I may not agree with some of his social views but I'm not a one issue voter and I think he gets it......too long now we have been screwing around with the status quo and if he can energize the state then more power to him......sometimes (not you) I think the RINO term can be overused.......I like indedpendent thinkers to shake things up and not follow the old tired lines.....
And what do you consider "progress"? Putting 1/5 of the state land under the Sierra Nevada Conservancy, run by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats? Putting the state $25 billion in debt, while continuing to increase spending for more social programs? Diverting expense to the local level (with no matching revenue) to force local tax increases?
Please note, these are not "single issues" nor do they have much to do with "social views," unless of course you consider communism a social view that should be accepted in the interest of "moderation".
