Arnold Schwarzenegger probably would have been weeded out in the Republican primary by an establishment conservative following the script that lackluster Bill Simon used to wallop former Los Angeles Mayor Richard Riordan in 2002.

Most people think Gray Davis wanted to face Simon and not Riordan and he used a lot of his campaign money to slime Riordan.

Besides, the conservatives got the candidate they wanted in Simon and they got beat by a really unpopular Gov. Davis.

" the conservatives got the candidate they wanted in Simon and they got beat by a really unpopular Gov. Davis."

Only because of a last minute slime attack that was a lie.
