California is much better off with Arnold than they would have been with a democrat.

However, not sure if conservatism is better off or not.

But our country is nothing like California, and we don’t have to consider the defeatism of picking a liberal for president.

FWIW, overall, It's more like California than it is like FR - simple reality.

I have to disagree with you here. California's problems are going to be much worse, under the leadership of a "Republican".
