this observer believes Arnold will not enact any measures to stop the flood of illegal aliens, the outflow of business, and the penetration of deviancy into our schools.

Neither does this observer, unfortunately. But this recall/election was about nothing more than a complete rejection of career politicians in favor of a populist. It wasn't idelogically driven.

I agree that it was not about politics, and that populism played a part, but this election was an uprising of the people against corruption and pandering....The populist angle is only due to Arnold having been in the race. Davis was going to be recalled regardless of who else was in the race.
