I'm sure that this WSJ article touting Buffett's advice is the reason Arnold slipped so badly in the polls.

I'm not so sure. Rush is determined to deep-six Arnold. Maybe he does have as much influence as he thinks he does.
It sounds like he wants Uberoth (sp?), but that guy won't win. It's either Arnold or Bustamente. I left CA nearly 7 years ago, so I suppose I shouldn't care. But I really would like to see the state get back to its former status as the most appealing state in the nation.

The field poll was done before the comment by buffet on the 14th (field poll 10th thru 13th). The 48% to 22% that has been cited in in the earlier posts are bogus. Arnold was never at 48% in the field poll that I saw, and the poll that had him that high has not released their latest figures. I agree with you that rush has it in for Arnold. Maybe he needs to read Novaks column where he states that no true conservative has won california since Reagan in 1970.

Rush is determined to deep-six Arnold...

So is Drudge. I shouldn't care either, except that I still have lots of family there. I left 27 years ago, but my 90 year old mother may not last much longer, and it is possible that I would inherit a small amount of property that will need to be liquidated. I shudder to think of the tax and attorney consequences to settle the estate.
