Sorry Field. It's a done deal. Arnold WILL be the next Governor of California. The CA GOP has to resemble the NY GOP if we want to be competitive here. Those who want more conservative results can't just "will it to be" on election day...they have to do the harder work of changing hearts and minds of ordinary Californians between elections.

What I said to the other defeatist applies equally to you.

"Sorry Field. It's a done deal. Arnold WILL be the next Governor of California. The CA GOP has to resemble the NY GOP if we want to be competitive here."

Then the party deserves to die ! The NY GOP is a national embarrassment -- chock-full of RINOs who get a sexual high off of expanding government, wreaking havoc with the state budget, a group that has a Devil's Agreement with the 'Rats that they will never attempt to contest their control of the State Assembly, who are their equals in every sleazy way. These cretins crush all independent-thinkers who attempt to win office and halt their "business as usual" attitude. I'm sickened that you would want to have the CA GOP embrace that closed-off and corrupt NY GOP establishment style. That, sir, is an endorsement of tyranny, not an endorsement of freedom.

"Those who want more conservative results can't just "will it to be" on election day...they have to do the harder work of changing hearts and minds of ordinary Californians between elections."

And you ain't gonna get that emulating NY.
