As I noted in an earlier post, the only problem is that a true conservative can not win in California. While I admire your idealism, it's political suicide. Arnold for all his admitted flaws is on our side at least half the time.
He is on the side of conservatism less than half of the time. Bigger spending, unconstitutional borrowing, land grabs, envirowackoism, taxpayer subsidies to a host of special interests, homosexual agenda, etc. I give him about 20% "on our side" and it has nothing to do with conservatism but all to do with various business interests.
