It's going to be interesting ---because RINO or Conservative, the only way to fix any of California's problems will be to do some pretty conservative things --- if that spending doesn't get cut, it's still going to be a mess. Arnold might not be a conservative ---- I don't know what his ideas for saving California are or will be ----but if he wants to succeed, he has to become a Conservative ---- more liberal spending will just destroy the state.
In 20 years there will be a few left that remember what a conservative ever was. Any everyone else will think they were NAzi's. After you dilute the Republicans with leftists you will have two parties to support that have no identity but their mascots. It is happening right now.
Now none of this should matter if you had no personal convictions of your own. Then pulling the name with _R_ next to it will do just fine. You win. Yippee!!
