Because I don't know what Medved said.....could you please outline his points?

And no....I do NOT live in California...but am still interested.

I hope that you're not one of those "outside agitators" that I've been hearing about. ;-)

He's making the valid and obvious points that Arnold is likeable, that people are registering to vote or planning to vote just because of him, that he's bringing a positive light to the GOP in CA which has been floundering for a long while now, and because he personally has always considered himself a Republican and not been afraid to call himself that in CA.

Like I said, I really like Simon, but he's got a few things against him: he's considered a loser because he lost the last election, he's a real conservative and that's very scary to most of the nuts in this state, and he's not one of the most famous people in the world.

It's okay - we know Oregon is affected by CA politics.
