Arnie wouldn't stand a chance of getting his watered-down "moderate Republicanism" past the death-before-electability crowd who dominate GOP primaries in California. He's unsound on almost everything that matters to them. On the other hand, that supposedly puts him closer to the average voter.

Yes, he's not a professional politician. And that's a disadvantage? The professional politicians are the ones who got California into this mess. This is a "throw the bum out" election, so the successful challenger will be the one who looks least like the bum.

Arnold represents the other California: entrepreneurial energy, wit and invention, the California that understands that if Hollywood and Silicon Valley were run by "qualified" people like Davis we'd still be watching flickering silents and you'd need union-approved quill-feathers to send e-mail.

Ever since he became a US citizen in 1983, Arnold has taken care, in his marriage and business interests, to remain politically viable. This is his window of opportunity: he's the man who seems most in tune with the moment.

Hehe, wonderful! It feels really good that someone like Mark Steyn agrees with me.

Where does Arnold stand on Drivers' Licenses for Illegal Aliens?

Victoria you're wasting your time if you're trying to sell me Arnold. I would never buy that package....ever. Even if I could vote in that pathetic former great state.

Besides I'm with you, I want to see him elected, albeit for different reasons than you do. I want to see him as governor because I think Californians are collectively a corrupted, Godless, selfish, contemptuous bunch who need to learn some hard lessons in life. I think a blockheaded, half-nazi, pro-death, liberal, pro-homo hollyweird enviro is absolutely perfect for them.

They deserve the self inflicted wrath that they're bringing upon themselves. I'll take pleasure in watching them stew in their own juices.

GO ARNOLD!!!!!

It's getting more and more difficult to tell Democrats apart from the death-before-electability crowd, they both oppose the same candidates.
