You may not know this, Cruz
but every time you started your response with "you may not know this, Arnold" or "you may not know this, Ariana," you came off as smug and condescending.

The people who think that Arnold's an idiot and Ariana's a flake are already in your corner, Cruz. Why go out of your way to turn off the undecideds?

1. the curse
Ive noticed this as well, i find it very condacending, almost as one would talk to a child. It really turns me off. Saying that i wouldnt vote for him any hoo, the MECHA connection is just to dodgy for me.

3. exactly
He was doing fine with the "above the fray" persona, but when you start acting condescending, you arent hurting your campaign, especially when you need independents since youve already shored up the base constituency.

4. Cruz was stuck on cruise control
I support Bustamante but I was disappointed in his performance tonight. Cruz was very smug during the debate. I wish he had been more forceful.

Arnold did well simply because the expectations were so low for him.

Camejo was the best tonight!
