Arnold is not a "social liberal".
He's what I would consider a social moderate.
A social moderate tolerates the gay pride parade. A social liberal joins in.
He's a fiscal moderate to liberal.
Prior to the recall election, candidate Arnold made it very clear. His intention was to get the state out of the red and into the black, in order to return full funding of all of California's social wefare programs. Again, I take him at his word.
Which is why the rumored Dump Cheney-Get Giuliani move is a non-starter.
