"State Sen. Tom McClintock, R-Thousand Oaks, signaled there nevertheless will be some high-profile opposition.
McClintock, the leading Republican candidate for the lieutenant governor nomination and whose support of Schwarzenegger helped the governor with GOP conservatives earlier this year, only supported the flood protection bond and voted against the other three.
"My main concern is that much of those three bonds is for equipment, maintenance and social programs that are going to be obsolete before the bonds are paid off by our children," McClintock said, adding that he isn't planning on campaigning against them but that "I'll be offering my opinion from time to time."
But, even he will not campaign against them.

Democrats solidly control the Assembly and State Senate. Governor Arnold is the only check and balance against those guys. Last year they passed a homosexual marriage law, and this year, they are going for a textbook law that requires teaching homosexual history. You can bet any Demo. governor will sign these bills. Arnold vetoed same sex marraige, and may well veto the gay textbook bill.
As I see it, on social issues, Arnold is our only hope.
