The reason Arnold bucked the tide is he successfully painted himself as anti-Bush liberal with a R beside his name. Other Republicans have not benefitted from his coattails - which appear to be non-existent.

Looking at where the races are now, we'll have Arnold + one other state-wide "Republican," Poizner.

There are no coat-tails. None. Zero.
