One of the good things about conservatives is that they make up their own minds; being generally quite well-informed and led by core principles rather than other's opinions.

Endorsements probably make less of a difference to this group than any other.

But having said that, I have no doubt that this race would be a dead heat right now if everyone who claimed to be conservative had stayed on our side of the lines instead of defecting to a liberal.

Some of us won't soon forget who the defectors were, either.

It's been educational.

Assuming that by "liberal" you mean Arnold [and since he is not a liberal, but neither is he a conservative, those appellations are both incorrect in reference to Arnold],
you are incorrect.

The conservatives in California are greatly outnumbered. There is NO evidence that Tom could beat Busty straight up, and ALL the polls indicate exactly the opposite.

Thus, since Arnold has a fighting chance of winning, conservatives have a quandary: do they stick by their guns and vote for an un-electable, thus possibly ending up with Busty, or do they vote for the non-conservative/non-liberal Arnold and have at least a Republican in office, thus advancing some, but by no means all, conservative principles??
