Abandoning principle and voting on the basis of celebrity drives his opponent's supporters.

Blah, blah, blah, principles, blah blah blah, RINO, blah blah, blah, neocon, blah, blah, blah.....

Stick to your "principles", and risk Bustamante. CA will NEVER elect a "true conservative" - there's just too much granola/hollywood types, etc. You've go to choose your battles wisely, and a lot of people realize that. The dilemma - it's not Tom or Arnold, it's D vs R. Period. Arnold, while not as conservative as some would like, is bettr than Cruz. Better to gain a small amount of ground, than none at all (or even lose ground).
