Based on his recall performance, maybe the Republican party earlier had a clue to how unhinged he was.
I would have given him a change up until his recall fiasco, but it could be the Republican party knew what a problem he was for a much longer time.
They may have already known what we have come to know more recently about him.
I think the answer lies with new blood after Arnold and for all these open seats now.
I do hope the Republican party on the grass roots level are able to find electable, likable and capable people.
