"Victory for a Republican, trumps ideological purity."
DUers, Keep bashing Dem candidates. Make Rove giggle wildly.

Democrats are the Left, the Center, and (some) of the Right.

Republicans are the Center, the Right, the extreme Right, the Corporate, and (most of) the Rich.

"I predict he (Schwarzenegger) is going to be attacked by the right wing," Mr. Cannon said. "He doesn't have a group of people who two years before the election, as in Reagan's case, were going to do everything they could to advance him."

"Kenneth M. Duberstein, who served as Mr. Reagan's White House chief of staff, is less pessimistic about Mr. Schwarzenegger's ability to romance the conservatives. Victory for a Republican, Mr. Duberstein said, trumps ideological purity."

This is more about the absolutely correct quote, not the story, but here it is-reposted.

An Actor, Yes, but No Ronald Reagan

1. Until Dems learn this we will continue to lose....
Hate to be pessimistic but I feel that it is the cold truth. I don't like it but......

So until then we'll continue to argue over who is a DINO and who speaks out the loudest and has the hardest spine and all that other stuff which is important but meaningless without the means to use it.

2. If the far right is willing to unite behind Arnold, it will show us a lot
Edited on Sun Aug-10-03 07:01 PM by Democat
Arnold is so much of what the far right says they hate. He is like a Lieberman of the right. If they are willing to unite behind him just because he has an R next to his name, it will show us how far they are willing to go to win.

Can anyone imagine the entire left, including the far left, uniting behind Lieberman? It simple would not happen.

We'll see what the Simon clan of the Republican party does about Arnold.

3. Actor???
I don't remember anyone callng him that before he threw his hat in the ring. It's the repub machine trying to make him like Raygun.

He was an "action-film star"
