Yes they are. Because Americans -- even in California -- admire politicians with strong personalities and unmoveable resolve, even when those personalities are abhorrent and that resolve is for the worst policies. It's the political version of SUV culture, so of course it benefits the biggest booster of the Hummer.
I think we outside of CA underestimate contrarians and also their ability to be contrarian. So maybe no Arnold after all?
That aside this is a classic blogosphere issue. Why not much attention being paid??
Smeeeearrrr Campaign. Rub harder. Make the smear longer...
Are you saying the charges are false? How do you know that?
