Nope. He was just a guy campaigning for governor with a conservative agenda.
But one has to question Chalcedon and the CRA's judgement when their preferred candidate happens to be EXACTLY who the Democrat incumbent governor wants to run against.
BTW: Speaking of Bill Jones, I heard from a friend of his that he is most likely going to go after Boxer's seat and will supported by Arnold. Jones is fantastic, and would have been my first choice for Governor.
Please let this be true. He is a very good politician. Arnold needs to find him a VERY visible place so that he gets seen and noticed by March, 2004.
