NOW HE WANTS TO DO TO THE NATIONAL GOP WHAT HE DID TO CA? (via Kevin Whited):
Ex-California governor says GOP timid on immigration (GEBE MARTINEZ, 6/14/06, Houston Chronicle)
The political godfather of California's initiatives against illegal immigrants in the 1990s said Monday that lawmakers who favor citizenship opportunities for such workers do so only because they are afraid of being labeled racists and nativists."I think a great many Republicans have been intimidated, and I, frankly, am quite disappointed," former California Gov. Pete Wilson said during a speech at the Hudson Institute, a conservative think tank.
Better yet, you could ask Gene Mauch how to handle a pennant race. Posted by Orrin Judd at June 14, 2006 10:34 AM

Kevin - the anti-immigrationists are quick to try and say the decline of the GOP in CA had nothing to do with Prop 182, it was due to the influx of liberals or some other reason.
Arnold, given his immigrant past, could help the GOP on this issue.
