I do agree that we should always pressure him to the right as long as we don't get him or other republicans defeated.
Something I do like very much about Arnold is that he helps keep the republican party alive among the vast California electorate.
He gives the average voter the illusion that we still exist here, and he adds a positive, even hip or glamorous image to the party (in California)
I think that while republicans are in a deep hole in California politics, that in this dark period, he gives us a positive image and keeps our future chances alive while the grass roots can do some party rebuilding, outside of the public view.
One cold reality is that as a republican Governor in California, his only power is celebrity, the state media would simply ignore any other Republican governor.
Good points all.
Ahhh ~ five MORE good points!
IMO, he has done more than any individual in politics to totally destroy the CA GOP and everything it stood for by completely abandoning the platform and the principles that united the party members.

I'll take solvency over glamor any day.
