Go for it, baby - tear Arnold down. In the end, one of three things happens - either you wind up paying for a gross of Manssiers for the governors mansion to fit Governor Busty during his term, Gray Davis stays in office, or Arnold wins without you or Tommy boy. Any way it shakes, you "true" guys are on the outs for a very, very long time - likely in perpetuity.

If Republicans ever realize they can win without you while having much more fun, you're in trouble (there is a twofer to this - an Arnold win will can't the Dems back to the middle - pluses all the way round).

Hah. So what if Arnold did everything that is thought of, and worse. I have no doubt that some politicians are rapists, well we know BJC is, but I mean other ones. And I'm sure some politicians are pedophiles, or engage in orgies, or engage in bizarre sexual activity, i.e. Gary Condit. "Powerful" men always have an urge to do these ... things. Arnold is nothing compared to them.

Since when is reporting the facts about Arnold "tearing him down"?

Your out of state ideas about California are quaint but perhaps you should leave analyzing the tendencies of our population to those who understand it: Californians.

Illegal immigration is the number one issue facing this state. It is integral to fixing the financial crisis, especially without raising taxes. The next governor must deal with it or we will tank. Arnold has no intention to do anything about it. He has said so. In that vein, he is no different than Davis. Why change and have the state tank under a governor with an (R) after his name?

This recall was about saving California. So far, I have not seen one good argument how Arnold can do that.

Excellent points, thanks.
