Oh, this life-long California Republican is angry! I am angry at local politicians, state policticians, and federal politicians. Lately it seems none of them escape my wrath.
Arnold will NOT get my vote. He didn't get it last time either. Party above philosophy hasn't worked for me for about 5 years. Neither has the scare tactics of....if you don't vote for Arnold you are electing Angelides.
Frankly my dear I just don't give a dam anymore. They either earn my vote or they don't get it at all. I will leave that part of the ballot blank. I will vote every time, but only those who deserve my vote will get it.
Flame on!

I'd vote for NOTA. Its just me but there worse things than I could do than take part in this charade. I'm outta this state for good.

I voted for Arnold last time, although I preferred McClintock. I held my nose, since Arnold had a chance of winning, and Tom did not. But...Arnold has not governed as a RINO, but as a Democrat, and I will not vote for him again. If there are two dems in the race, do you vote for the less liberal one, or do you not vote at all? I won't vote for Arnold, I'll check out the third party guys and see if one is acceptable. If not, I won't vote for guv at all.

This would be a first for me, by the way. Voted straight GOP my whole life.

"if you don't vote for Arnold you are electing Angelides. "

Like it or not, THIS is the case.

I am sure Angelides and all the DU-ers are very pleased with your decision and that Arnold will have one fewer vote, which improved the chances of Gov. Angelides, who can't wait to raise your taxes, sign the homosexual marriage bill into law, just for starters. And if you indeed will not vote for Angelides YOU will bear responsibility for everything Angelides does.

"McClintock, who is more conservative than Schwarzenegger, backed the governor against conservative critics earlier this year and praised him repeatedly Thursday for his attention to infrastructure and the deficit. "

Governor(Schwarzenegger)joins ex-rival (McClintock) to form unofficial ticket

The 2006 campaign is still young, but Schwarzenegger, the incumbent governor seeking an uncertain re-election, and McClintock, a state senator from Ventura County running for lieutenant governor, look very much like a tag team.

Personal friendship -- and political necessity -- have forged an alliance between the two that mirrors a presidential-vice presidential slate, with each shoring up the other's weaknesses.

Schwarzenegger, a prodigious fundraiser, helped McClintock amass about $500,000 for his 2004 Senate race. This year, McClintock has been invited to meet-and-greets with well-heeled Schwarzenegger donors.

The governor could also help generate publicity for McClintock and earn him crossover appeal with independents and Democrats. If the governor solidly wins re-election, McClintock and other Republican candidates for statewide office could ride his coattails.

McClintock's statement:

"Like many of us, I too have disagreements with some of the Governor's proposals. These differences, however, do not justify the abandonment of our party's responsibility to work tirelessly to reelect this Republican governor and to elect our GOP candidates to statewide and legislative offices.

For this reason, I view any effort to attack Governor Schwarzenegger as an attack on my own candidacy and those of every Republican seeking partisan office in 2006. "
