Kinda like what happened in the state of Massachusetts. Weld basically helped destroy the MA Republican party.
I dont think courting the center is offensive, I just think Arnold's centrist politics is the wrong flavor of RINO. Arnold helped to give us a huge tax increase with 40 billion of borrowing.
Maybe a socially liberal version of McClintock would probably be a winning flavor of RINO.
The only good thing is Arnold may be our chance to eliminate Boxer. And thats the only good thing.
That's not possible. There is no such thing as a honest and fiscal Conservative being a social liberal RINO, because the inclinations of the latter favor an expansionist government and increased spending. You can, however, be a Social Conservative and fiscal lib.
