Who will Arnold split the vote from more?

[ButterflyBlood]

I think assuming he'll split the vote from Simon and McClintlock is pretty foolish. He's barely a Republican. He has very liberal views on social issues, on which the Freepers loathe him for. The only real issues he's conservative on are military and national defense ones, which don't matter much in a governorship race. I think he would probably split the vote more from Bustamante than those other far right freaks the Republicans are running.

1. Simon is talking like he's not running.

He's not "not sure" if he's going to run.

2. then if it's Arnold vs. Bustamante vs. McClintock

Arnold could hurt Bustamante more.

3. Sal Russo just said Simon was announcing tomorrow..Sat.

that he will.

4. Arnold isn't a liberal.

Why is everyone saying this? He's just voicing the
whines from everyone else in this state but he has
no solutions.

5. Arianna Huffington

She has a good shot at it. The Repugs will split their vote the Dems will held accountable for the deficit(even though it is not there fault) and her campaign against Arnold "The Hybrid vs the Hummer" will resonate in California.

I am a Calif. native and have lived in NV for only 10 years and at that I live on the NV/CA border. My business is in Ca, they are ready for Arianna, but the media and the Repugs want Arnold. My home state I hope is smarter than that.

6. she needs to get in people's faces and tell them her plan

or she might as well have not registered

7. someone had better

study the constituencies in this mess. If one large segment of the disaffected gets sown up by anyone it is curtains for Davis- IF the anti-recall effort does not rally turnout which seems sadly likely.

The angry white males are part of the repug radical votea and independent libertarian vote- which is a huge chunk of who is likely to turn out to collectively beat their chests against Davis in October.

This group can go for AS like they did in Minnesota for Ventura which will be a boon for the GOP in this case, not a defeat. Split or deflate this group or come up with a Davis victory. All these other candidates could do nothing more than dissipate competition to the "unique" AS and achieve nothing from their separate ego trips than ensure focus on the new kind of clownishhness that appeals to the fed up.
