That is not the issue. In fact, most in the forum would agree that Arnold is a RINO, however his business background and statements concerning the budget don't send me into conservative seizures. In fact, after listening to his press conference concerning the CA economic situation I felt that he has the leadership ability to solving the problems in CA's budget in a much more conservative way than a Cruz Administration would.

The race is between Arnold and Cruz.

The Hollywood leftist elite (Martin Sheen, Ed Asner, Susan Sarandon) is bashing Arnold, while Art Torres and Jerry Brown are boosting TM.

Arnold can win, and the Left knows it.

I couldn't agree more that the left is trying to boost McClintock (his people are falling for it) in order to split the Republicans so Cruz can sneak in.

From reports I get from friends out there, it is not working with them and their friends who are conservative. They are voting for Arnold because they feel that Cruz would be worse than Davis. They didn't even hesitate to support Arnold who is a businessman versus McClintock. They supported Simon against Davis and actually think Simon would have been the better conservative to be running but because of baggage from losing to Davis didn't stand a chance.

Have had more than one person tell me that they don't like McClintock's supporters and their negative tactics which speaks volumes to me!
