More (minor) woes for Arnold

Doesn't sound like members of The American Conservative Union are all that thrilled with Arnold, either. Here's an excerpt from their statement:

Free market conservatives are disappointed that Gov. Schwarzenegger, a champion of personal responsibility, would participate in such politically- correct silliness. With the many social and economic problems facing California, soda pop in the school cafeteria should be the least of their worries.

It is little wonder that California public schools continue to fail in meeting the academic needs of their students when the legislature and the governor are spending their time imposing trivial regulations on school vending machines.

People just like to pile on a guy while he's down, don't they?

This, of course, presents the big problem for Arnold in California. Things he could do that would be popular in the state more than likely not won't appeal to his base. Meanwhile, things that appeal to his base aren't going to win over the rest of us voters.

If Arnold can find a way out of this mess, he deserves all the credit he will get.
