As a candidate, Schwarzenegger also condemned the use of loans, fund shifts and accounting gimmicks by former Gov. Gray Davis. He vowed to "tear up the state's credit card" and force the state to "live within our means." Since taking office, however, Schwarzenegger has backed massive borrowing programs. He along with Democratic leaders pushed Proposition 57 in 2004, a $15 billion bond measure to refinance the state's budget deficit. This year, the governor proposed an even bigger bond deal to pay for new schools, roads and water systems -- the $37 billion infrastructure bond measures that will be on this November's ballot.
Fiscal Conservative.... yeah, right.

If there had been some spending cuts, I might be mildly enthusiastic. As it stands, I see nothing to write home about. Arnold's a great actor and isn't exactly a courageous leader. Two very different things. California deserves more of the latter in a Governor. Needless to say, his opponent doesn't live up to that billing.
