I agree with you Mia and cannot fathom the thinking of Joe Farrah, whose column contradicts and appears on FR today.

Will look at the Farah column. thx.

I suspect that the purists--George Will is another--have concluded that the conservative movement is threatened by the CA result; they fear that the GOP will conclude that the Arnold paradigm is the way to go.

What they fail to realize is that the CA recall win was, to paraphrase clinton, about W-A-A-AAY more than ideology. it was ultimately about taking out the clintons in order to win the War on Terror.
