Let's think on this a minute. What exactly will be his job? He must enter his office and immediately direct the dismanteling of the California government. There will be thousands to be removed from the state payrolls. There will be political blood and guts and gore all over.
To quibble about purity of conservative values misses the point. When you are up to your ass in alligators, saving egrets doesn't have much priority. First you must dispose of the Gators. Slay them, ship them off to Nevada or put them to sleep, just remove the threats. If you fail to take care of the gator problemn nothing else in the swamp matters. The gators will eat you and everything else while filling the swamp with gator crap.
There is a strong possibility that the gator elimination operation will prove so politically costly that he will no longer be needed. Succed or fail, the job will be a killer.
Also, It won't get done overnight. IMO, I don't think he is the type that will be able to stick it out.
The Recall is the beginning of a long process of elections and nasty legislative sessions.. ie., a crusade to restore this Republic to it's once proud role as the leader in the nation in many ways.
Who are Arnold's backer today? I hardly consider them realists, more romantics or fantasy chasers..
They are the same folks that destroyed the coalition that Reagan had built and appealed to and today, have made the CA GOP a neutered and feeble entity by providing ineffectual and smarmy leadership.
I don't really think we want a lukewarm conservative in the guise of a RINO costume leading this crusade.
