Makes one wonder: Why does a GOP compromise candidate always have to be the one that looks most like a Democrat?

Arnold doesn't even pretend to have a clue as to what he would do if he won. A completely substanceless candidate whose advisors publicly contradict him and each other, and somehow a principled and knowledgable candidate is supposed to step aside to clear the stage for him?

Why doesn't the guy who has no idea what he is doing step aside?

Why are the left-leaning members of the GOP so quick to toss conservatives overboard, and to burn at the stake anyone who sticks to their guns on principle? To me, that does more to solidify Bustamante than anything - it gives him the appearance of moral credibility when a GOP candidate runs on a liberal platform.

This is the same game that gave a minority of Democrats the run of Congress. Leftist GOP candidates are always worried that some liberal won't like them and will say bad things about them, so they pander to Democrats in the hope that someone else (preferably a conservative) will take the heat.

The GOP is a loser in California unless it takes its head out of the sand. Ronald Reagan was in the movies, but he was also a thinker with a plan, not just a pretty face. Arnold has no plan. If he had one, he would have announced it before he ran. This is a whim, and he is not a serious candidate which can pull the GOP forward.
