honestly i find it hilarious... the Republicans are in for a nasty surprise, i keep hearing them make comments that sound like CA just became a conservative state or one that bush can win... LOL

Arnold did not get elected because he was a republican, he did not get elected because he wasn't a democrat....

he got elected because he was the anti-davis...
Had he came on strong with conservative views on social issues he would never have been elected... CA is moderate(contrary to popular opinion) only 31% of people who voted call themselves liberal,

I would say as a whole anyone who thinks that the two parties are relevant to the "average American" is out of touch with said "average American". From where i sit, and i think this election backs it up, the "average American" is not concerned about the parties, very few Americans are "Liberal" on all issues, and few are "conservative" on every issue.

It would do the republicans a lot of good to chill on the social issues. If the conservatives lightened up on gay marriage, abortion and/or a couple of other issues, they would be unstoppable.

sadly, I'm sure they wont figure this out, and will instead continue trying to convince people that they are "right"
Jeez.... I don't know where to start...

A moderate today really means somewhat liberal.

There is no such thing as being "liberal on social issues and conservative on economic issues". That is a form of propaganda the left uses frequently to basically hide the fact that they are on the left. In order to be "liberal on social issues" you have to spend a lot of money and in most cases expand the government to administer these social programs. This is contradictory to being an "economic conservative". The whole term and concept is bullshit and an invention of the left.

I haven't heard any "real" conservatives say CA is now a conservative state. Maybe some phoney conservatives and Republicans. No real ones.

If the conservatives lightened up on gay marriage, abortion and/or a couple of other issues, they would not be "conservatives". They would be on the left and would be LIBERALS. What the hell are you talking about here Todrick?
