Without Arnold in the race, the Democrats win handily.

No. Arnold is playing the roll of Ross Perot in 1992: a sideshow candidate who allows the media to avoid serious coverage of election. Ronald Reagan won the Governor's race in 1966 because he addressed specific California problems and convinced even many Democrats that he could do a do a better job than Pat Brown. McC could do the same...if Arnold weren't stealing the spotlight.

Are you suggesting that Arnold will finish in 3rd place?

Every one has obstacles to overcome..... Those that triumph over theirs will become the leaders.... such is life.

Patently false. From day one he earned the backing of several high profile Republicans, and the list continues to grow.
