"The real lesson of California is that demographic trends continue to go against the Republicans more and more every day. The same thing is happening right now here in my state of Virginia."
I agree. That's why I think that for Republicans to avoid becoming totally irrelevant in CA they have to move to the center, as Arnold did, and learn to get a few critical important things, instead of nothing.
If Arnold had done nothing, but vetoed the universal healthcare bill, as he did, he was worth electing. And he vetoed many other critical bills that a Dem would have signed.
You do realize that Schwarzenegger is talking about a new comprehenisive healthcare plan for Californians don't you.
I think you're right about that, but I'm a conservative and not an especially big fan of so-called "moderate" Republicans.
I'm far more concerned about the country than I am about a political party.
LOL! FO, you are the new Dane. Give us a break.
Moving from the right to the center is an endless shuffle to the left.
What needs to be done is to start movement in this country to the right, not to the left.
There is no "center." - Movement by the GOP to the left makes them irrelevant to the conservative base. And that = Whigs.
