"Well then I guess he'd better start governing like a Republican."

Sure, so the overwhelmingly Dem electorate can defeat him and get Angelides elected. What a brilliant idea (/sarc)



Governor walking fine line with Republicans, independents

If he gives core Republicans what they want he'll alienate the moderates who could give him his re-election.

This leaves him with one vital need as he gets set to begin his fall re-election campaign in earnest: Schwarzenegger probably cannot win this fall without near-unanimous support from his party's conservative base. In fact, he can't win if any significant number of those voters stay home.

But he also can't win unless he attracts a majority of the moderate, independent voters who in ever-increasing numbers lately have been registering to vote without declaring a party preference. Play to one of these audiences and you may lose the other.

No matter how you try to twist things -- the choice is Arnold or Angelides.

The Dems are COUNTING on the conservatives to stay home or vote third party to get Angelides elected.

Do conservatives really want to cut their nose to spite their face? I don't think so.

People attacking Arnold know full well, that helps Angelides and are NO CONSERVATIVES, regardless of their pretense.

Ya know, this really needs to get back into RNC's lap.

Instead of battling over bad and worse, why is the LCR allowed to function under a RNC umbrella?

BZZZZZZT! Wrongo!

No dice. You posted that thread to promote a down-ticket conservative; you posted that thread for the purpose of promoting Arnold. Here is what you said in the first post:

That's why conservatives need to understand Arnold's precarious position and need to support Arnold, instead of demanding things, which will alienate moderates, lose him the election and WE WOULD GET ANGELIDES.

You did not post that thread for the sole purpose of promoting a down-ticket conservative, as I requested.

Yawn... So predictable.

Name one thread you've posted for the sole purpose of promoting a down-ticket conservative.
