You are SO wrong on this.

Arnold has done far more damage than Gray Davis could have ever done.
The state is far worse off, and he’s drug the CA GOP down along with it.

Exactly what Rudy will do nationally, if elected.

BTW, the demographics in California are no different than they were in the past several decades when we elected a majority of Republican governors, including Reagan, Deukmejian, and Wilson.

This mantra of “the best you could do” is a crock!

That's a bunch of crap. Anytime you throw out a corrupt 'Rat you've gained ground. Are you really saying you'd prefer a criminal as your Governor, regardless of how much you dislike Arnold? Do you really think your state would be better off with a crook at the helm? If so, you sure do have some strange "principles".

Yep, no different than with Reagan and Wilson. You sure are electing those conservative Republicans to national offices by such tremendous landslides. I'm sure Senators Mountjoy, Campbell, Huffington, Herschensohn, Fong, and Jones, and Governors Lungren and Simon will agree with that. Cripes, you've got Dumb-As-A-Box Boxer and Diane Fineswine as Senators for Life. Nope, nothing has changed since you had Reagan, Wilson, Deukmejian et al. And you've got the nerve to say I'm "so wrong". Sheesh, your own state's electoral history proves you wrong.

In the contest of Davis vs. Schwarzenegger, it was the best you could do. Your Governor was going to be one of them, or maybe Bustamante. Your choice was to start with someone fresh, or stick with a crook or his protege. There were no other viable alternatives and you know it.

That was the point I was making. That the national GOP leadership is willing to see that happen in order to start a new coalition between moderate/liberal Republicans and conservative Democrats, thereby marginalizing the values voters.
