It's all for show.

Since the Republicans don't have enough sense to all vote for Arnold, he needs the votes where he can get them.

This will also make it hard for critics to criticize Arnold's inexperience, if he surrounds himself with well known names -- then ultimately he can do what he wants, he doesn't have to follow the advise of his advisors.

This is just another smart chess move by Arnold, whom people still keep "misunderestimating".

I give Arnold more credit for honesty than you do as I did when he supported government subsidized after school day care. I think he appointed Buffett as his *chief* economic advisor because he actually agrees with him! My explanation makes more sense that your convoluted Machievillian theory.

where does one get this "Sense" to vote for a Liberal?

Oh, you mean that there are Republicans who will not give up on their principles to vote for somebody who is looking like he will screw them in the end. Good for them, but I question your opinion of who has the sense.
