"But that is exactly what you are going to get, if Arnold gets defeated."

I told you a long time ago that many of us are no longer willing to pull that lever on a "least worse" basis. Remember? Especially when the level of difference among them is so thin. And so painfully obvious.

"NO sensible person could possibly think that AngelidThere will be irrevocable damage done to CA, if either Angelides or Westly gets elected. es or Westly woudl be better for CA, than Arnold."

Under the circumstances we have here, FO, asking who would be better really isn't the question. The proper query is: who would be worse? Well, Arnold may be least worse. But I've already told you that many conservatives, me included, have already decided we're all through pulling that lever on a "least worse" basis. I'm sorry that all you can do is make your argument for Arnold on a "least worse" basis, but there you are. Don't blame us if your man Arnold doesn't know the difference between an elephant and a donkey.

" In fact Arnold did as much as ANY Republican/conservative could have achieved under the circumstances."

You know none of us agrees with you on this. The little that Arnold has done is very thin soup. Conservatives won't drink it.

"And instead of understanding and appreciating it, by advocating the defeat of Arnold, you are promoting the election of a liberal socialist Dem."

Again, your words not mine. I am not advocating the defeat of your man Arnold. I've merely pointed out the differences you assert between the three are differences without much of a distinction when it comes to Arnold. Don't blame me if it is hard to tell the difference between Arnold and "a liberal socialist Dem". Arnold has only himself to blame for that.

"There will be irrevocable damage done to CA, if either Angelides or Westly gets elected."

Perhaps. Not my problem. Suggest you take it up with Arnold, the CAGOP/Dufus Sundheim and, of course, the New Majority pecksniffs.

"Using rhetoric that "all three are unacceptable" only tried to make an equivalence between Arnold and the socialist Dems."

It isn't rhetoric because the equivalence is right there for all to see. I suggest you keep denying it though. It's really about all you can do.

"First of all there is NO THIRD viable alternative,..."

Granted. So what?

"People ignore it at their and our peril."

As I said, don't blame us for who you may wind up with. Take it up with those who are really responsible: Arnold; the CAGOP/Dufus Sundheim; the New Majority; and the GOP/RNC.

Really would like to help you out here, FO, but I'm afraid you're stuck with what you have. We all realize that you will have to go home with the guy that brought ya'.

Good luck.
