We need more than republicans voting enmass. We need to have more republicans in CA, period. We are outnumbered and right now there is nothing to do but try, because we are the minority party in CA. When we do get a republican in office, in this case Arnold, then he/she must stay the course and not cave in to dems, even if it means losing in the congress and senate .
Arnold should have gotten the message out, should have tried to educate the voters instead of doing sound bites such as "girly men", which were amusing but accomplished little.
He should have met with Bush and endorsed him, he should have taken an active part in the election when Babs was re-elected without a struggle and her opponent went down with very little notice. Arnold failed on that account and many others. I will never vote for him, but will not vote for dems either. I would hope he doesn't run again but he will.
We won't win any dems over to our side by whimping out and embracing dem politics.
There were ballot measures and it was understood by most that the unions are a problem.
Even KFI has some hosts that were spending days on this issue.
Arnold can't as a Governor representing ALL THE PEOPLE be spending lots of time giving fireside chats about how evil all the Democrats are, that just isn't done.
The way you make the change and the people who can make the change are the citizens and political parties at the grass roots level. That is where the action is and the Republican party IMO has been severely lacking.
There is an automatic major Democrat block because of union/government employment.
They vote their own wallets in getting the private sector's tax dollars to pay their bloated salaries and benefits.
The UNIONS connected to government all across the country are big parasites and problems for tax payers.
