I was sadly but pragmatically planning to vote for Arnie; yes, as an actor he has far greater appeal to the masses and should then be able to out poll a sitting member of the Davis administration.

But all this "selfish Tommy" stuff and the vindictive that seems so ready for dumping on anyone daring to note that Schwarzeneggar isn't even a tad bit conservative is pushing me back to basics.

Maybe if Arnie were willing to debate McClintock I'd go back to the 'reasonable' option but for now you can consider my vote as thrown away.

As to some other comments in this thread:
Free tuition has multiple benefits to the left - its a hand out to the teachers union as well as to the poor downtrodden border busters.

Someone else indicated that they didn't mind "educated, tax paying..." illegals gettng a a bite on college.
Really. really, wrong!
1. They are still illegal, legal residents still have to pay and legal immigrants (like from Oklahoma or Taiwan) DO have to pay. (You are not only rewarding crime but penalizing hones and legitimat citizens twice in order to do it)
2. Anything like this serves to draw others into the country and the state. While it might sound reasonable to comfy Americans, it's a magnet to people who start off with NO access to any kind of schooling.
3. The bill calls for an application for legal residence; see recent discussions about licenses, visas, etc. and recognize that that requirement would be 'lost' as soon as the program got into place. (Watch some bureaucrat determne that a consular matricular & drivers license constitute the first steps in legalization)
4. The state is broke, repeat, broke!
Do they expect the lottery kick-backs to cover this scheme or will the indian casinos kick in to support their cousins?

Why on earth should Schwarzenegger debate McClintock with only 3 1/2 weeks to the GENERAL election??? To FURTHER divide the GOP vote and give Bustamate an ever LARGER victory?

This is NOT a primary, for pete's sake. We are united or we get Bustamante. If you want to throw your damned vote away like the Perot people did, then do as you please.
