[Cacophonous]

If Schwarzenegger continues to ignore the principled (McClintock) conservatives, there will be no foot in the door, especially as he is ideologically opposed to them to begin with.

And I think Texans are just plain smarter than Californians.

continues to ignore the principled (McClintock) conservatives

That's a leap. McClintock's principles are forged in superfolous words that have never been matched by action. He can't get decent Bills out of committee after he introduces them, the budget is still a mess after 20+ years of McClintock and he's running an intramural Gubenatorial campaign. The only cause of his that has flourished is Indian Gaming.

I'll borrow a phrase from the Ravencliff reservation to describe Tom's principles as I see them. "Heap big smoke but no fire."
