True, they turned out in numbers to be expected. The DEMS outnumber us, remember that, keep repeating it to yourself and maybe you will get it. Also, people(republicans) are not pleased with Arnolds performance, a republican should hold to republican values. I am tired of Arnold lovers trying to tell us that the republican base is causing his problems. Arnold is causing Arnolds problems, period.
Worth repeating.
You can't have it both ways. On one hand you say that the Dems outnumber us in CA, then you want a Republican to be more conservative, so how is he going to get elected?
By your own statement a Republican can only get elected if he gets some Dem votes, so how is a conservative Republican going to get Dem votes?
The delusional Republican base IS the problem. They keep pushing unelectable nominees. By sheer luck and providence we get Arnold elected, then instead of supporting him, they spend all their time tearing him down and want to see the state go down the tubes, just so they can blame it on Arnold. And they prefer to be permanently ruled by the Dems, just so they can cry and cry on bulletin boards.
McClintock as an example will get 22% of the state wide vote in a two way race with a Democrat and will get a Bustamante elected.
Until we get the conservatives out to vote in mass, nothing will change.
Until the Republican party in our state works on grass roots level to convert people to Republican/conservative, nothing is going to change either until a total financial disaster makes it happen.
He did - and it cost him dearly, apparently. It looks like he's going to ignore the people that ignored him now. You reap what you sew.
