West coast? Ask Tom (aka H. Ross) McClintock...

McClintock or not, Bush isn't winning California.

Arnold winning is good nationally in several ways, but this is my favorite: Provided he wins, remains popular, and the impression is that the state is improving under his watch, he can stump for Dubya and help make Cali compeditive.

Unfortunately, it won't be enouh to win. But it will be enough to absorb Dem funding they could be spending in other states. If we make them work a bit for Cali, that's a good thing with a national benefit.
