Nobody could have done any better than Arnold against the Dems, in fact by giving in to them in lesser issues, he was able to push through some important issues, such as the workers' comp and refusing to raise taxes.

Amen to your comments. I live in Northern California and I just had to "hold my nose" as I filled out my absentee ballot. The two wackos running in the Democratic primary are flaming Liberals with highly questionable ethics. What choice do we have? None! California is represented by two disgraceful jokes as Senators as well as being run by an Assembly of Liberal idiots. Can it get any worse? Unfortunately, yes!
