“This administration is populated by people who’ve spent their careers bashing government. They’re not just small-government conservatives—they’re Grover Norquist, strangle-it-in-the-bathtub conservatives. It’s a cognitive disconnect for them to be able to do something well in an arena that they have so derided and reviled all these years.”

Arnold's dilemma

It's a fine line that Arnold has to walk. It's clear that conservatives are upset with his moderation. And that will be more than obvious next weekend when state Republicans gather for their convention. It will be interesting to see how much he's willing to give them.

If he goes to the right, then he's clearing hoping that conservatives will come out in record numbers to beat his Democratic foe. If he leans left, he's hoping to take voters from his unnamed foe and praying those numbers will outshine the conservatives who will stay home, turned off by his campaign.

Watch closely to see which way he goes.
