[Mr. Silverback]

Where does Arnold go from there? Well, consider this: Up until Tuesday, the chosen Governor of the people of California was a guy who had been instrumental in a fiscal crisis that has been called the worst in the history of any state in the entire history of our Republic. He believed that a huge car tax was a great idea. He helped engineer a massive energy crisis. He figured a great way to get some votes would be to give a driver's license to any jihadi who can walk into a DMV and claim to be from Tiajuana. And his chosen successor believes in all of this, and is an unrepentant racist who sees California as undertaxed.

Now, let's just assume that Arnold never gets a parental-notification law through the legislature. Let's assume that he never moves to the right a millimeter on pro-life. What will happen?

There won't be a racist in the governor's chair.
The car tax will go back to where it was.
Osama will not be using a Cali license.
There will not be a governor deciding that the way out is more taxation, "justified" because the victims are rich.
And (let's not forget this!) not one more baby will die than would have died under a Davis or Bustamante administration, because California already had two of the hardest hardcore pro-choicers in the country in office.

You see, being a one-issue voter on pro-life is the way to be, but if it's clear the pro-lifer can't win, we need to add our support to the person who is best on the other issues. In this case, that was Arnold.

I'm not a one issue voter. I look at a candidates entire agenda and then make a decision. If a candidate is pro-choice, he/she is usually too moderate, too centrist or too liberal for my tastes on all the issues. I won't support them. It's no secret, I didn't support Arnold and I still don't believe he was the best man for the job. I didn't like his policy agenda and I don't support liberals, even if they have an R next to their name. Period. If Arnold had shown himself to be a bedrock fiscal conservative, I probably would have accepted his candidacy.

The best I can do at this point is wish California well and hope its new governor can get something accomplished in the long term. Right now, I believe any accomplishment will be strictly limited to the immediate hot button issues of the recall campaign and other issues of relevent but marginal concern to California.
