I have stated these thoughts here myself, had Ahnold not entered the race, this recall was nothing but disaster for the republicans in Cali.

He is the only canidate with an R beside his name that can win and carry enough mandate to force the legislature and establishment to deal with them. ANyone else and they will just get stonewalled.

I spent a year in Cali, and I can tell you right now, what much of american considers a hard core conservative cannot carry stateway there. The densely populated liberal urban centers just overwhelm the more conservative less populated, if geographically larger, rural regions.

Now personally I am not a fan of this recall movement, but its not because I like Davis... I don't.

I think California, like New York City before it must be forced to pay the price for its decades long dance with social and economic liberalism, because only after it has had to do that can you really have large scale change happen in terms of the electorate. I think this recall will likely short circuit a long overdue political shift for the golden state.

Because should fiscal conservatism and social conservatist policies come out of this recall with a simple plurality, and give the state some breathing room, they will go right back to social and liberal spending and policies shortly after whoever takes the helm is gone... because they weren't forced to deal completely and fully with the foolishness of their ways.

You need to force people to deal with the calamities they create, if you force a solution on them without them being forced to recognize and deal with it themselves, you just delay the calamity, don't end it... they will repeat the same things that got them in trouble as soon as the "forced" solution is out of the picture.

Arnie will be the best thing that could happen to Bush. He will play a big role in the re-election because his election will wreck havoc with the RATS costing them loads of cash and deprive them of illegalities they could get away with under a RAT governor.. This is going to cost them in about every possible way and it will assure that the media is distracted from anti-bush attacks 24/7.

If you enter the office with the persona of this guy it will make it very difficult for the legislature to continue its spending when he is in opposition. Plus, he will be a huge benefit campaigning for the senatorial candidate and W.

This is a good thing.
