"I wish somebody in the Arnold camp would start a daily thread where freepers could get news and published views and where rants were minimized. I actually offered to help one of the Arnold supporters to set it up. I would like to have unadorned Arnold material to examine or a place to ask questions or get clarifications. "

While it's not an Arnold thread, DoctorZIn is doing an excellent job with his daily CA recall thread, where on can at least see all the threads, and at least can read the article.
JagrMeister did an Arnold thread a few times, but apparently got tired of all the bickering and spending his time more productively on his

I have thought of starting an Arnold thread similar to your Tom thread, but I've been spending way too much time on FR discussing the recall and the candidates already, and keep trying to spend less, so I am somewhat reluctant to commit to starting a daily thread.
I think another thing we should do, and I vaguely recall you and/or someone else mentioned it previously, is that we should have a Davis/CA's status thread ( there were a number of various articles about the business climate, about the legislature passing bill, Davis signing the licence for illegal, etc.) and a Bustamante thread, keeping our eyes on the ball, that they are the real enemy and collect all we can find about them.
Maybe I'll start an Arnold thread, let me think about it. But only if the Tom supporters promise not to try to hijack it. :)
I am sorry that you get disrupted by Arnold supporters, I never do that -- as you said, there are plenty of other threads for rants, -- and it would be nice to keep one each strictly about the particular candidate, without disruptions.
I know you haven't been a disrupter - your screen name is very apt. If you do start a daily Arnold thread I believe many Tom supporters would assist you in keeping in rant free. I know Arnold supporters have done the same for the Tom daily thread. I hope you consider starting one.
The good Dr. Z has done an excellent job keeping the general recall thread going - I don't know how he does it - I can barely keep up with the Tom articles.
