I am still waiting for all you naysayers to explain what your boy Aunold brings to the party? He has no platform and no solutions. But you think that those of us who are the grassroots of the GOP and are responsible for getting the recall election this far should throw away our principles and convictions for a "pro-abortion, pro-homosexual, pro-gun control, pro-government program liberal" who is absolutely no different than Bubba and the Dimwit Davis except for party affiliation. Man! I am sure glad you naysayers don't live here or we wouldn't be having the election October 7. You'd be saying "you CAN'T recall Davis, CA is a Democrat state!" ROFLMAO

Arnold belongs to the party because he joined; he has an (R) after his name. I am more conservative than Arnold, but I do believe he is the only Republican that can win in California at this time. I used to live in PA; I voted for Spector (held my nose/hate this guy), but he is better than a Democrat.

  1. Victory
  2. Increased Republican Party identification (Dems lead Reps 45-35 as is)
  3. ""When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn't like it. "Compromise" was a dirty word to them and they wouldn't face the fact that we couldn't get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don't get it all, some said, don't take anything. "I'd learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: 'I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.' "If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it."
