Wellll, maybe just a little bit but Arianna inserted herself into it and it got defused. The part about Arnold's advisor Pete Wilson raising taxes, Arnold shot back "Come Oct.8th it won't be Gov. Wilson or Gov. So and So it will be Gov. Arnold." Just then, not wanting Tom and Arnold to have all the fun, Arianna jumped in with some blather and the original exchange was forgotten. But they both made their point with very little bleeding.
You have got to understand just how deep the California party civil war is to understand why the death grip on each other.. once you understand it... it becomes clear
The Wilson/Riordan wing has sank Tom twice in state wide runs by drying up the money it been done to other conservatives to create the “conservatives can’t win”... it all goes back to the Wilson tax increase after Wilson promised not to ( you heard the Wilson tax increase talked about a lot tonight) Tom lead the other republicans in the fight against Wilson on the tax increase... and the Wilson /Riordan wing have been trying to kill off Tom and other conservatives ever since as punishment ... with Tom number one....
It not Arnold per say but the Wilson /Riordan wing that Arnold hooked up with that their zero trust for.... it a true blood feuded the must be address to have peace
