What are his views re environmental matters? That can be thorny in California, and it seems as if the debate gets clouded by extremists on both sides. If he had a moderate, common sense platform regarding environment there, he could really make some headway.

From his website at www.joinarnold.com:

You have stated that you are a friend of the environment. What does that mean?

I will be a passionate defender of California's environment, providing real leadership to protect our precious land, air, and water. I believe that part of California's greatness lies in its natural resources and beauty. It is an essential part of the California experience. It is much easier for an employer to attract talent to our Golden State with its majestic coastline, snow-packed mountains and limitless recreational opportunities.

I believe what we do in this state must improve our quality of life, and environmental damage runs counter to that. Even from an economic perspective, our environment must be protected. If we have beaches soiled by oil spills, tourists will not come to this state. If we log our forests irresponsibly, stream beds will be destroyed and our fishing industry will be damaged.

I believe we can improve our economy without impairing our environment, and will govern by this belief. I am assembling a team of environmental advisors that will elaborate on key issues in the coming weeks.

There are details on all of his positions there and, if you need more elaboration, I've been collecting his assorted interviews and articles written about him... just holler :-)
