Can you imagine how different this election would have been had Westley won the primary?
This isn't a matter of Arnold having coat-tails, this is a matter of Angelides depressing Democrat turnout.
I agree with you. Westly could have beaten Arnold. But the Democratic base wanted a hard core liberal and now they're really depressed. Their candidate should be ahead by double-digits in a Blue State. Instead its the other way around. To say they have a terrible candidate in Angelides is truly the understatement of the year.
