Ted, I'm sorry but they were yelling "Ahhnuld, Ahhnuld, Ahhnuld" until they started hearing some of his beliefs. Now, they have moved away from him very quietly not even mumbling their unhappiness. Why? Because they still want a Rep. governor of CA even if they hate what he stands for.
Name one conservative that has changed his or her tune. From the moment Arnold announced his candidacy, conservatives have always questioned his, well, "conservativeness."
If anyone has changed its tune, it's the media. Now that the "kewl" notion of the Governator has sunk in, it's open-season with anything remotely negative that can be dug up on the guy. They even exaggerated the criticism coming from conservatives, especially from Rush. Maybe that's what's making you think conservatives are changing their tune.
Oh give me a break......no one wants Bustamante.....and you know it. Issa not only fukked himself, he fukked the Dems. Isn't that what this BS is all the about? Just remember that those who do the fukking often get screwed in the end!
Even in today's LA Times, there is an article on Davis supporters whispering among themselves whether they should start backing Bustamante. As for Issa, he got exactly what he deserved: a recall and a failed run for the governor's seat. A good act was accomplished without satisfying the selfish motives behind the act.
Back to Bustamante. Which is easier:
- Getting Davis to 51%, which he'll need to defeat the recall, or ... - Getting Bustamante to 41%, which he'll need to win if the recall goes through?
You do the math.
