I think it will take a hard-line conservative to fix California's mess, but a hard-line conservative will not win. You can't fix anything if you can't get elected.

[Abe Froman]

You also can't fix anything if you're incapable or unwilling to do so, or if you refuse to acknowledge exactly what the problem is.

The bottom line is this-----electing Arnold does nothing for California if he doesn't fix the problem. I think it probably also makes things worse for real conservatives in the long run. If and when Arnold fails to do anything of substance, his failure will be immediately associated with republicans and therefore conservative republicans as well.
