The prospect of forcing the Dem Party to spend boatloads of $$$ in California
in 2004 to overcome a bully-pulpit-wielding 'Governator' who will rail night
and day about how all ills in Cali are due to those 'obstructionist liberals
in Sacramento' will trump ANY reservations the right wing has about Ahnuld.

They've already GOTTEN every damn thing they WANTED from BushCo.
If Rove calls them to say "look, if we can get Arnie to f*ck with the Dems
for 60+ weeks, day in and day out, getting face time from Our Pet Press
anytime he wants, do you really CARE if he's pro-choice or smoked weed?
Party Uber Alles! Force the cash-poor Dems to spend $10million in Cali
to prevent either a GOP swing in SacMo OR handing 54 electoral votes
to Bush! You won't BELIEVE what you'll get from us in a second term!".

Plus, Arnold will do as he's told, will get a free press pass, and the
Dems won't go after him.
