This is true.
I voted for all of his initiatives.
I don't blame Arnold for anything other than surrounding himself with too many Lib/Dems. I know he's doing the best he can under very difficult circumstances. However, making that radical his chief of staff is a deal breaker for me.

I had the same reaction, until I cooled off and started to consider the alternatives, at which point I am looking at it that Arnold may have dropped in the overall assessment scale, say from 85 to 60, but any Dem who would get elected has a value of some -500 and dropping, because in today's environment, they would claim they have a justification to raise taxes signifantly, probably even getting read of Prop. 13 protection and we would really rue the day, when they got in. And we narrowly dodged the bullet, I think Arnold actually vetoed that socialized medicine bill the Dems passed.
