No, I think that he is warning us to look deeper than the politics of Obamacare. We hailed the recall of Grey Davis here in Kalifornia and look what we got.

The problem here in California is that dumping Gray Davis was a START, but everyone thought it was the be all and end all. I seem to recall Arnold had a special election shortly after his initial election. There were a bunch of initiatives that may have saved us a lot of financial grief, as well as toning down the roar of the state legis-rats. Not only did all of the initiatives go down in flames, he ended up eviscerated worse than any of his opponents in his "Conan the Barbarian" movies.

Heck, even Tom Campbell has realized he can do more to save the state and the country from Washington than he can in the snake pit of Sacramento.

AH-nold ran as a fiscal conservative who would reform the situation that caused the problems in this state. Rather then campaign for that agenda in a special election, he let it go down in defeat, after listening to his wife and Uncle Teddy. The people of CA were head-faked. I still think they did the right thing in throwing out Grayout. They deserved better than the gubinator, who turned out to be a “girlie-man.”
