What we have on this board is some pretend-conservatives trying to convince real conservaties that there is no difference between Arnold and Angelides, to help out Angelides.

Exactly correct. They're plants. It ain't going to work, libs. Knowledgeable people know there's a huge diffenence between Arnold and Angelides. Angelides is to the left of Gray Davis. Arnold is obviously not a Reagan Republican but he is the only one right now keeping Calif. from completely sinking into the cesspool of collectivism and socialism, which Angelides would love to see happen.

Angelides is grasping at straws and has "con nservatives staying home or voting third party" as part of his win strategy and some of his stooges here are trying to implement that strategy.

Here are some things he could do:

o Attack Arnold from the right :

§ Illegal immigration–Arnold has angered the conservative base with some of his comments on this issue. The Angelides campaign, or perhaps an anti-Arnold independent expenditure campaign, could attack Arnold in the mail or on the radio and use Arnold’s own words against him.

§ Taxes/government spending–The state government continues to run what is essentially a deficit and Arnold’s numerous proposals to increase government spending and borrowing turn off Republicans. This line of attack could also mitigate some of the tax attacks against Angelides.

" low conservative turnout will loom as a key peril for the governor and a prime source of hope for Democrats."

"Angelides ... must win 80% of the Dems and a solid majority of the DTS (declined to state) registrants, TO ACCOMPANY THE 15% REPUBLICANS WHO DON'T VOTE FOR THEIR PARTY'S TICKET"

ANGELIDES IS COUNTING ON THEM.

Angelides team bullish on California's blue state math (counting on CONSERVATIVES, to win)

Angelides' camp believes that while the governor enjoys support among some Democrats now, by the time ballots are cast in November, the base will remain loyal.

They also believe that the opposite will occur with the Republicans because Schwarzenegger's recent move to the left on key issues such as immigration and the environment has alienated conservatives.

To pull off a win, Angelides must seize his opportunities

"But it will not be easy, and Angelides must take full advantage of the opportunities: ... the governor's sometimes tense relationship with conservatives; "

And what would you call the Green legislation and the borrow and spend bonds? I call that socialism. As P.J O'Rourke said, "liberalism is just communism sold by the drink." In the end, it doesn't really matter who gets us there. I say to liberals, a plague on their houses.

All Arnold's doing is setting up a huge Dim victory in 2010.

The CAGOP will stab McClintock in the back, and there won't be any other Republican that has Arnold's star power and money. The Republican candidate will have no choice but to run as a out-and-out liberal because Arnold has already moved the ideological goal posts to the left of center. Villargrosia will easily cruise to victory and the Reconquista will begin and hopefully FR will move its headquarters to Texas.
