Yes, but Reagan ran on a tax cut and had clearly defined conservative positions by the time he ran. Arnold won't promise not to raise taxes, won't promise to repeal Family Leave, and hasn't gone out on a limb to support any conservative position on any social or economic issue that I can find.

Unlike Bush I, he is not making promises he can not keep. When one of his people (Not Buffett, who he should have kicked off his team.) suggested a swap that would raise some taxes while lowering others, all the media would say was that Arnold wanted to raise taxes.

With Arnold I think we have a chance of just missing the iceberg. Cruz would turn the ship into the iceberg. I like Tom and might yet vote for him, but I am afraid that if he becomes governor, his crew might just ignore him and we would hit the iceberg anyway.
