This is NOT a primary.
It's the real enchilada....no general election after this. No second opportunity.
And yes, the party endorsement DOES mean something. If nothing else, it adds to the tidal wave for Arnold now in progress. Bandwagon psychology and timing is everything in a campaign. Arnold's timing has been perfect....he's beginning his peaking at exactly the right time, i.e., a week before election.

You're right. And it is a crying shame that FReepers/'conservatives added to the AS momentum and bandwagon effect over a month ago. Very sad.
