Well, as a life time Californian who wholeheartedly supported Simon in the last election. I have to be pragmatic and support Arnold. Much as I'd like another Reagan, that will never happen in the current climate here.
The only reason not to support Arnold or any other Republican, RINO or not is who gets blamed for the train wreck that has already happened but has been cleverly hidden with Enron style accounting.

Since the gov gets a line item veto, a fiscally conservative gov could cut out all of Davis's largess and stop the hemorrhaging of jobs and businesses.

I'm disappointed in the people that think we should let our state go down the tubes to prove how bankrupt the dems' policies and visions are. A perfect analogy would be Britain's gun laws. After their implementation crime rates soar and what do they pols say? We need even more draconian gun laws. Same thing with the Third Way crowd, Communism isn't a bankrupt institution, it just wasn't implemented right. I'm sure that's Hillary's position. We have to cut them off now and Arnold is the only hope come Election Day. If he really wants to save us, he might be a one-termer with all the tough decisions he'll have to make and I'd sure like to hear him declare that if elected he'll repeal the tripling of the car tax.

I liked Simon but he is just splitting the vote and so is McClintock who I like more than Simon. If one of them had Arriana's chutzpah maybe they'd have a chance but they're only going to divide our vote and give us Governor n-word Bustamonte.

Schwarzenegger's comment about businesses being necessary so that we can tax them and provide social programs is a bit off-putting to me. I don't like the viewpoint that businesses are some sort of cow to be milked for the maximum amount of cash possible without killing them, and I'm not sure someone with that viewpoint would use the veto to cut out unnecessary (to me, at least) spending.

If it will stop Berkeley and Hollywood from smugly telling us that their way is what made California great and that "their way" should be imposed on the rest of the country.....then I can't really summon up a tear.

The fact is that California is in the shape its in because of these bankrupt policies. California is serving as a living example of where the Berkeley Highway actually leads. Bad for California, but a good object lesson for everybody else.

I agree, most conservatives know Simon or Mclintock would be a better man for the job BUT you have to get elected to do the job. CA is about as socialist as Sweden do you think Reagan would get elected there? I said it once I'll say it a thousand times I'll take an honest moderate over a crooked liberal every time.
