A centrist, the actor-governor describes himself as a "post-partisan" who wants to bridge the political divide that often leaves the state capital of Sacramento gridlocked.

Wasn't there a certain other politico that wanted to build a bridge to the future too.. and we know how well that panned out. ;-)

Those Third Waysians, ya got to love 'em.. or ya'd have to throttle 'em for being so stupid.

Well, California Republicans, you either champion Conservatism or with leftism, embrace Massachusetts moribundity.

Is it the people that elect these idiots that are to blame or is it the parties that nominate and fund these ‘roids, or both?

I think the CA capital is better gridlocked seeing all the crap that has been flowing out of it.

Incrementally over decades the socialists have increased their influence in the GOP to the point where the party has aligned itself with the Socialist Democrat party by replacing Conservative core principles with Socialism. Conservatives only logical recourse is to leave the GOP and unite with the large number of unaffiliated Conservatives.

Centrist? LOL

Not hardly. When the RP in California sets their agenda, Arnold should be in Pakistan.

One page. Hell Schwarzenegger’s agenda would fit in a paragraph.

If the Republican Party moves to the mythical middle, it will be doomed to be in the perennial minority. A party that stands for nothing other than expediency deserves repudiation by the electorate.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger wants the state GOP platform — the party's statement of core values — boiled down to as little as a single page focusing on lowering taxes, limiting the size of government and building a strong national defense.

LOL. If AS had any connection at all to concepts of smaller government and lowering taxes, this might be credible. This is a guy that wants socialized health care in CA and preschool for everyone.
