Sounds like they've been listening to John Sebastian.

Did you ever have to make up your mind?
Say yes to one, and leave the other behind.
It's not often easy.
It's not often kind.
Did you ever have to finally decide?

Arnold has a proven ability to connect with voters, to solidify the Republican base while reaching out to Democrats and independents, and to excite new voters.

Something Tom's supporters aren't interested in. They'd rather get 30% of the vote -- you know, get simply the "conservatives" in the electorate -- in a split free-for-all election, in other words, just enough to win, than try to reach out, expand the base, and give a Democrat the experience of voting for a fiscally conservative Republican only to find their head doesn't explode.

Big deal.

Party establishments always pick one guy in a primary. They are just being more open about it here.

California Republican Party Leadership Endorses
Arnold Schwarzenegger for Governor (press release)

Excerpt:

Burbank, CA. – In an unprecedented move, the California Republican Party’s Board of Directors today unanimously voted to endorse gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger in the October 7 recall election. The vote was announced following a special meeting of the CRP Board in Burbank.

“We are proud to have two extremely competent Republicans on the ballot,” said California Republican Party Chairman Duf Sundheim. “Both would make exceptional governors, but only one can win. It is our hope that Republicans, Democrats and independents who are ready for change unite behind Arnold Schwarzenegger.

We simply cannot afford to put our future at risk by keeping Gray Davis and Cruz Bustamante in office.

Dummies. Don't they know bustamante would be a better choice than Arnold? Ask any TomBot...they'll tell ya!
