I do realize many freepers and conservatives in CA called Arnold as a lib or a RINO. I guess you could say I’m treading in relativity. I wouldn’t have thought, considering how far beyond the pale he has gone, that those critics, including you, realized just how bad he’d be. You were clearly correct I just don’t think anybody, even in the heat of the moment, truly expected him to be this bad. I think he exceeded your worst fears or that was what I was trying to say.
You ducked the big question of the day however. You either voted for Arnold or Phil. Voting for Phil is a hard thing to imagine, much easier to talk about than actually doing. If you stayed home I’d be disappointed. You nailed me for voting for Arnold which means you voted for Phil or worse, stayed home. As I said earlier it’s a difficult situation here in CA and I consider it our duty to vote.

I misspoke. You could have voted for a variety of folks so I’ll leave you your privacy and withdraw that statement.

In 2006, I voted Constitution Party for governor (Noonan), and straight Republican for the down ticket candidates.

Not mine, especially with regard to gays. I knew that when Arnold was a young buck, Robert Mapplethorpe got some VERY useful photographs, many of which I'd bet are now earning a princely return in a remote safe deposit box under an anonymous account. It would explain much.

No, he has turned out to be every bit as bad as I expected! That is what *I* am saying, if you would just read my words instead of trying to tell me what *my* worst fears were! Why do you think the FR threads were so volatile? People PASSIONATELY believed that Arnold would be the worst possible outcome and posted such for months!

I voted. I voted AGAINST all of the outrageous bond measures promoted by the Governor, FOR Proposition 90 (and a couple others), FOR good conservatives like McClintock and Poochigian, and I left the Governor box empty--there simply was not an acceptable candidate to vote FOR.
