Carry,

It is not suprising that Arnold has some half-baked ideas in a subject you care deeply about. That is somewhat expected in a political neophyte. However, just because George Bush has some ideas that I think are very wrong (open borders) doesn't mean I won't vote for him next year. I still plan to Vote for Arnold, and I still think that Tom is doing himself and the Republican party no favors in this prideful suicide mission of his.

You still have not differentiated his ideas from Cruz Bustamonte's. Are they better, or worse? Please advise.

Well we differ for a lot of reasons that IMO are off topic here. Between the two, what they SAY will of course sound different, but I don't think Arnold's environmental ideas are that far from what you would get from Cruz Bustamante. In fact, I would bet that in both cases the composition of every regulatory board in the state would be virtually identical. You can take that however you would like, but it is an informed opinion based upon what I hear from people who work at a high level inside these agencies. That's all I can say on that topic right now.

I don't think there is much difference between Cruz's enviro policy and Arnold's. I can't justify spending all my time fighting government environmental crap just to turn around and vote for one of the perpetrators just because he has an R behind his name.
