Re-electing Arnold will take the stink of a "republican" governor in California, he already has done that to a point, now stay with me here..... so that a REAL REPUBLICAN down the road next time CAN get elected. Got that fellow Cali voters?

Do you have any evidence that would be the outcome?

How many times has that happened in, say, the last 18 years--a moderate/"rino" governor handing over a Governor's seat to a Conservative? Take all 50 states, 18 years, 225 elections. How many times did a Conservative succeed a RINO? Answer: TWO. Two, out of 225 possibilities. Not good odds, even for a bettin' person.

Thanks to fieldmarshaldj for the research and analysis. I would welcome any support and/or analysis for the contrary opinion you posted.

Ok, so why don't you and your "research assistant", fieldmarshaldj do some research and tell us:

HOW MANY TIMES DID A CONSERVATIVE GOVERNOR FOLLOW A LEFT LIBERAL ONE?

YOU are the one who is ignoring history: Davis, who has the charisma of a turnip, beat conservatives Simon and Lundgren by such a huge margin that it was pathetic.

Nobody who has any attachment to reality could possibly think that McClintock's chances of becoming governor would be higher, if he would be running against incumbent Angelides, then running after he's been Lt Gov under Arnold.
