Arnold is pro-business more than he is an ideological fiscal conservative. Still, he made politically risky attempts to reign in the influence of big labor on the budgets. He lost that battle on a PR level.

I don't appreciate that you act as if he never tired to take on the difficult issues.

This election is a zero sum game: it's either Arnold or Angelides. Wishing for Angelides to win so a random "true blue conservative" can rise up and win in 2010 is FOOLISHNESS. If Angelides wins, he's in until 2014 unless he falls over dead or moves to the Senate or White House.

I question who he deals with and why. You can accept it, others don't and speak out.

You can't even pretend that he has much support here as anything close to being a conservative after the way he has conducted himself in a "bipartisan" manner and ran the bar tab up when we needed to cut back... or is that also just another battle lost on a PR level?

We're screwed either way, I'll leave it at that.
