People who supported Schwarzenegger back in the recall should have known better.

There were a lot of them on this board. They argued that he was more "electable" than Tom McClintock, a true conservative with a solid track record.

I’m not a fan, but Arnold ran for Governor on promoting specific Ballot Measures that would have been great if passed. As Governor, he pushed those Reforms all the way to the Special Election.

After the Government Unions spent Tens of Millions to defeat ALL those Ballot Measures, Arnold just gave up citing “the will of the people” and that was that.

I like McClintock, but he would have been lucky to get 20% of the Vote if he even made it to the General Election.

I remember the Ahnuld fanboys gloating that an Ahnuld governorship meant that he'd "bring the businesses back" and "put California in play for Bush" and "make California a red state"

Well, I suppose he did accomplish the third goal. California is run by communists now.

The problem with Schwarzenegger is that he refused to use his popularity to extend coattails to other Republicans on the ballot.

Even during his reelection when Tom McClintock was running for Lt. Governor, Schwarzenegger refused to endorse McClintock and ended up with Democrat John Garamendi as his Lt. Governor.

Seems they don’t have anything to say now, doesn’t it? Or perhaps we just don’t recall who they were. I remember we had our work cut out for those of us supporting McClintock - big disappointment.
