I would add my own fear is Arnold is not a fiscal conservative ....anymore

Peoples politics change

True and a valid concern. But absent any actual facts that suggest Arnold would turn the worm and present the MECHA leanings of Cruz B. I would submit this is not a criterion that should be used to evaluate this election.

I noted above my wild-card analysis, but at the end of the day I wouldn't let too much speculation guide your vote (assuming you are a current Californian).

There are the multiple tax hike "mistakes" that Arnold's aides (not just Buffet) have made.

They look alarmingly like trial balloons. Particularly since a lot of Arnold's staff are former Wilsonites, responsible for the huge 1991 tax increase.
