the flipflopping can be attributed to inexperience in the arena or it is a sign that winning is more important than governing and he is looking for a message instead of leading from conviction.

For someone who's "inexperienced" as a politician, he sure is learning fast! One of the things I first liked about Arnold was that he wasn't a politician and he initially seemed to speak from the heart. That was his "inexperience" showing. But all that quickly faded. Now he flip-flops and parses like the most seasoned pol. Obviously, his handlers were quite busy coaching him those first few weeks when he dropped out of sight!

It's not that he's trying to find a message; he's trying to play both sides of the field. He's "against" illegals, but he supports amnesty and wants to help them become part of California. He's against taxes, but he reserves the right to raise them (with no specific criteria for when or why). He's a "fiscal conservative", but he advocates big social spending programs.

There's really no upside to electing Schwarzenegger. He will further the Democratic agenda while giving the Dems an excuse to blame California's problems on the Republicans.

Arnold voted against Prop. 187, giving social services to illegals and he is also against giving them drivers licences and he said he would recind that. I haven't heard, but I can't imagine that he wouldn't also oppose this bill and I bet he would veto it, if he became governor.

On the other hand, Bustamante will be more than happy to sign it.

GOVERNOR BUSTAMANTE

Thank you, Tom and thanks Freepers, I couldn't do it without you. Thanks for electing me governor and for helping the realization of Aztlan.
