I'm split on this. I mean, I understand the criticism, but Arnold is in a tough spot. What's he supposed to do?

He's either a conservative or a liberal. His in-the-middle won't make it. I say he pack up, let the dems destroy the state & make movies & smoke cigars with Teddy.

Obviously you don't live in CA and aren't familiar with its demographics.

CALIFORNIA VOTER AND PARTY PROFILES

http://www.ppic.org/content/pubs/JTF_VoterProfilesJTF.pdf


"The Democratic Party currently has an advantage of 1.4 million voters over the Republican Party (7.1 million to 5.7 million) or 9 percentage points (43% to 34%), according to the Secretary of State.

Among those most likely to vote in this year’s elections, Democrats outnumber Republicans by a 7-point margin (44% to 37%), while 15 percent of likely voters are registered as independents.

... the fact that independents are more likely to lean toward Democrats than Republicans (42% to 28%) tends to work to the disadvantage of the GOP in statewide elections."

"He's either a conservative or a liberal. His in-the-middle won't make it."

But being a conservative in California WILL make it?
