Yes. I agree. I am not a purist.
I do not want Schwarzenegger to win.
McClintock is the best candidate. Bustamante is horrible and I do not want him to win either.
But he does less long term harm than Schwarzenegger.
A Schwarzenegger victory effectvely ends the Republican party as a conservative party. Not an ideological pure party - but one that is on balance more conservative than liberal.
Ah, your true allegience is showing. You would RATHER have Bustamante.
So you think Cruz's Mexican Nationalism will do less damage than Arnold. Cruz has been called a 'moderate', mostly his real positions have remained hidden because of local politics. Do you think he will let that bother him if he becomes governor? If you thought the Dornan/Sanchez race was corrupt, wait until Cruz becomes governor. If he becomes governor this race will indeed have been the last gasp of "White California", as one of the other Democrats has called it.
