California Republicans did no such thing. Arnold won in an open election witht he votes fo Democrats, socialists communists.
If it had been a Republican-only primary, Arnold would not have won.
True. And he only survived after that because the PTB in the liberal infested CAGOP leadership blocked any opposition in the 2006 primary by changing committee rules.
And just like they did for Arnold, they have been working hard to change the rules to favor Giuliani (early primary, independents voting in primary(R), splitting electoral votes, etc.)
