I think Arnold is a fiscal conservative, something our good friends who are so busy chanting "RINO, RINO", don't want us to find out. As someone posted this quote from Arnold on another thread:

"I came from Austria, a socialistic country where government controlled the economy. A place where you can hear 18-year-old kids talking about their pensions. I wanted more. I wanted to be the best. I had to come to America. I had no money in my pocket, but here I had the freedom to get it. I have been able to parlay my muscles into a big movie career.

"Okay, so there I was, waiting for Maria to get ready for a game of mixed doubles tennis. I started flipping the television dial. I caught a glimpse of Nobel Prize winning economist Milton Friedman whom I recognized from my studies in economics. I didn't know I was watching Free to Choose. It knocked me out. Dr. Friedman validated everything I ever thought about the way the economy works.

"I became a big pain in the neck about Free to Choose. All my friends and acquaintances got tapes as well as books for Christmas after Christmas. If I had come up with Free to Choose, maybe I wouldn't have got into body building."

GREAT find. Thanks for sharing. As a former Californian, (and my heart is still there plus most of my relatives) the State is fortunate to have someone of Arnold's stature running for Governor. Personally, Simon and McClintock are closer to my personal views, but they are not winnable candidates at this time. IMO, a "liberal" type Republican can encourage people to come back to the party, so that in time they will feel more comfortable voting R. I call it... one step at a time.

Thanks again.

Great quote. (As I read it, I kept hearing the "Ah'll be bach" accent.)

This morning on KSFO in San Francisco, the top radio program in the Bay Area during the morning drive, with Lee Rodgers and Melanie Morgan, Lee started to get pragmatic saying, "We're all looking at the polls, and frankly, whomever wins would do very well to have Tom McClintock near at had in dealing with the budget mess," or words to that effect. They are big promoters of McClintock, but I think the reality is setting in that it will take a miracle for him to win, and that "whomever" will probably be Arnold, and that he'd do well to make McC his Director of Finance.
