It still pisses me off that the Democrats didn't pull out all the stops to defeat Arnold for re-election as governor and instead ran a largely unknown candidate and then didn't seriously back him--Clinton and Gore did commercial for one of the ballot measures, but NOT for the Democratic candidate for governor.

The Democrats could have done a lot of things: found a celeb to run against him, dig up his personal crap again, or do what they didn't the first time: show that he is in bed with the same business interests that blackmailed the state for $10 billion and caused the rolling blackouts.

By not neutralizing Arnold at that level, he now has a shot at senator, and given the respect Republicans show for the Constitution and how little the Democrats protest when they trample it, he also has a shot at president.

Democrats need to get a lot more creative in working against threats like this.
