I clicked around on the website where you got this article, and found they describe Gray Davis much the same as they do Arnold...
...the vote reflected the anger and frustration of workers and middle-class people over the policies of the Davis administration and the failure of the Democrats to provide any answer to worsening social conditions and growing economic insecurity. Davis, a model of the so-called “centrist” Democrat, embodies the rightward shift of the party as a whole over the past quarter century.< snip- >
All that remains for the Democratic Party, its credibility shattered by its humiliation in the recall election, is to move further to the right and collaborate with the Republican governor in launching new attacks on the working class in California.
Lessons of the Democratic debacle in California

I'll bet if I clicked around a little more, I'd find your World Socialists are also of the opinion Bill Clinton is on the right. Let's see...
Clinton offered as the greatest accomplishment of his administration the fact that next week he will submit to Congress the first balanced federal budget in more than 30 years. This announcement, and the bipartisan standing ovation that followed, deserves particular consideration. This celebration of budget austerity demonstrates how far the Democratic Party has shifted to the right, to the point where it now poses as the party of fiscal "orthodoxy" against Republican proposals to create a new deficit by cutting taxes for the wealthy even further.
Clinton’s State of the Union speech: The politics of illusion

Yep. Only took two tries.
So, the folks at the World Socialist Website, whom you proudly proclaim call Arnold "right wing," also cite Gray Davis and Bill Clinton as examples of the rightward drift of the Democrats.
The Socialists have an odd threshhold for what it takes to be on the Right.
Not sure I agree with them.
