What a bizarre argument!? If the point is that California has gone down the tubes, why would you be looking for a candidate who had a hand in it? I would think we would be supporting the lone wolf who saw the writing on the wall for the last two decades.

McClintock may have seen the writing on the wall but he apparently lacked leadership ability to do anything about it. To be a good governor you have to be a good leader above all else. That includes the ability to convince people, to listen to people, and to compromise. These are qualitites that McClintock lacks.

And how did Arnold have do with the current fiscal situation except to express his desire to fix it?

What will Arnold compromise on if he gets into office? What concessions will he make? How do you expect to see him come ahead on deals with the Democrats?
