There are some very pleasant silver linings for conservative Republican voters who refused to hold their nose and "vote for the win" as they were instructed to when Arrrrrrrrrnold was running for governor and the incumbent reelection. There are two which I wish to address.
This messy, nasty sorrid, shocking, dishonarable affair has done what only Arrrrrrrrrrrrrnold could do - drive a stake in his own political career and end allllllll speculation of him ever moving on into a larger political career! He will now crawl back under the rock he came from and never be referred to again by Country Club Republicans as an up and coming shinning star. Egg on face is not a positive image and does not win others to your side.
The second is a myth which has had a stake driven into it - the myth that voting for the win is all that matters. I submit honor is a higher standard than holding your nose and voting for the party candidate. At the end of the day - or at the end of a life - most of us want to be able to say we have been honorable, had integrity and made mostly good decisions. This is a decision - not voting for Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrnold - I will not have to cop to. Yeah! I wish I had some good whiskey I could toast with - knowing I stuck to my principles and got one over on the elite know-it-alls. This should become a verb - Arrrrrrrrrrrnolized. Meaning hood winked, scammed, suckered by a slimy, low life of a candidate. Or maybe Edwardized after John Edwards? Or it could be - like in Spanish the feminine and masculine form - in this case the democrat and republican form of the word. Needless to say when the Republican elite say this is the candidate you must vote for "for the win" I believe we all now have been bestowed to repudiate their choice and to say something like, "" a verb & a pronoun," I have some honor, a little integrity and a whole lot of wisdom and I will not be Arrrrrrrrrrrnolized."
