While Arnie can't win merely by appealing to conservatives, he also can't win unless he does appeal to conservatives. The fault lies with Arnie.

Exactly right!

And to the Arnie-bots, a question on the "split vote":

How many people have said, "Arnie's the better guy, but I'm voting for Tom"? I doubt Tom has ANY Arnold votes in his tally.

Now, how many people are saying, "I like Tom, but I'll vote for Arnie"?

Who split the vote again?

Arnie entered the race AFTER TOM, split the Republican vote, and has shown he is incapable of drawing the votes he needs.

Now the best his people can do is demonize Tom and Tom's voters, threaten them with the Bustaboogeyman, and scream it's all Tom's fault, not Arnie's.

Arnie split the vote, and now cannot pull it off. The blame lies with Arnold and the CA GOP, not the voters.
