Fiddlesticks. The pragmatic reason for supporting Arnold is that the enemy of our enemy is our friend. Even if he’s only a 20% friend, he’s better than Gray Davis, a zero.
I take second place to no one in my disdain for country-club and dinner-party Republicans. But there was no conservative running who was going to turn California voters around and win this one in six weeks. Sure, McClintock almost certainly would make a better governor than Arnold. So would Bob Tyrrell. So would I. But none of us was ready to run and win.
p>The California GOP deserves blame for having a weak farm team, with nobody electable statewide ready to step in and win. Given their lack of preparation, they’ve made the best of a bad situation. br> — Doug Welty br> Arlington, VA /p>
