The more people enter the better Arnie's chance are.

And exactly how are people supposed to stop being political amatuers without running for office?

I think Dickie thinks you should start on the town board and not governor of such a large state. I guess he would have pooh-poohed Reagan too.

Isn't a delicious hypocrisy on several fronts?

First, there are always screams from the left to make things more democratic and here you have a free for all(various parties etc) which they call an affront to democracy. Of course several have already floated recalling the replacement.

Second, the endless screaming about the courts usurping the people has been the mantra since 2000. And who happens to be filing lawsuits to ensure they remain in power?

Third, already those who screamed that Clinton's sex life was nobody's business are ready to tear Arnold a new one over his skeletons.

People may think CA is crazy but most revolutions are.

No there is actually good news. The more people there are in the race, the WORSE Arnold's chances are. There is only a certain amount of "circus" vote to go around. The additional clowns, celebrities, and leftists will take votes away from liberal Arnold.

Lots of candidates on the ballot tends to benefit a long time conservative leader like McClintock who has an established voter base. Fear not. We can still win this one.

Wrong. Conservative Republicans will go for McClintock as a block.
As more RINOs and liberals enter the field, Schwartzenegger's constituency will be diluted from both sides.

Not really. As more and more Dems enter the race, more Dem voters will be peeled away from Aaaaaahnold. Dem voters, not Republicans, are Aaaaaahnold's base. He needs to run against only Republicans to win. Add Dems to the mix and he loses.
