the Governor came out as a fiscal conservative who went to battle against the unions and public employees but was abandoned by the Conservative voters

We agree.

He was given no backing by Republicans/conservatives

We disagree. Schwarzenegger was backed by loyal Republicans but not by conservatives. Schwarzenegger is still backed by loyal Republicans. Conservatives are now adamant to get rid of him.

The problem many loyal Republicans experience on this forum is the separation of political philosophy and partisan politics. Conservatives vote based on the principles of the candidate. Partisan on the basis of party registration.

Conservatives don't care if not voting for Huey is really a vote for Dewy and many, loyal, California Republicans aren't particularly concerned about the philosophy of their candidate as long as he wins.

The effect of my one and only precious, purple fingered vote will never EVER be to elect a dem.
