But either Arnold or a Dem will actually get elected.

So the real choice is between Arnold or the lib Dem.

Well in recent years, when people "threw their vote away" on Jesse Ventura in Minnesota and Angus King in Maine, they were elected Governor without a "D" or "R" next to their name, so never say never. However, I would agree with you that there is a 95% chance the next Governor of California will be either liberal Dem Westly/Angelies or liberal Republican Arnold.

FYI, Gavin Newsom is quite pleased with your boy.

"Schwarzenegger is becoming a Democrat again, It's a good sign for him and a bad sign for the Democratic Party. He gets it. He's learned his lesson. ... He's running back, not even to the center -- I would say center-left.''
--Gavin Newsom, Mayor of San Francisco

The FairOpinion account is working overtime to cloak the truth. Notice the seemingly innocent duplication "lib Dem". That wasn't an accident. It was the only phrase the FairOpinion account could use with any honesty.

If not familiar with California politics here's why: There are three, principal, gubernatorial candidates going into the partisan primaries:

1) Phil Angelides - a socialist
2) Arnold Schwarzenegger - a liberal
3) Steve Weslty - a liberal.

That's two liberals and a socialist. No moderate or conservative. Of course, there is a choice between a liberal and a socialist but no alternative that repugnant circumstance. Regardless of who wins, and it won't be Angelides, California will have a liberal governor in the next election cycle.
