Based on the three for four articles I have read of his handling of california, I, a registered democrat, would likely vote for Arnold. He is a rather liberal person, socially, and fiscally conservative. Perhaps the most appealing single characteristic is that he actually thinks for himself; the party doesn't think for him. His support of gay marriage (ok, civil unions, but that's just fine by me) when his "higher ups" like bush want to *%#^%'in ban it...that earns points in my book. They say he's been rather effective in breaking 'logjams' in california. Of course, I'm a New York Liberal, so what do I know? Oh, and the amendment will never happen; it's a classic case of over reaction and people getting ahead of themselves.
P.S. A New York Liberal who votes for a republician is worth noting.
P.P.S 40% of NY voted for Bush. I, however, did not.
