Honestly, with the exception of 2005's special election fiasco... I think Arnold has been one of the better governors California has had. His own brand of fiscally conservative and socially liberal policies puts him at the libertarian end of the GOP. In short, the Terminator is no George W. Bush clone.
He is pro-choice, for same-sex civil unions, against tax increases, for improving border security, and has a strong environmental record to boot. This puts him squarely in the mainstream of California politics.
He's also been surprisingly good for the places that didn't vote for him, which is a sign that he actually does care about the unity of the state (and that he isn't just another partisan hack).
He allocated money to important museum projects and schools in Los Angeles. He got Virgin Atlantic to move it's U.S. headquarters to San Francisco, and helped the city snatch up 3 billion in stem cell research grants. Any other Republican governor would've written those liberal cities off the "to do" list and spent all their time kissing up to the right-wing O.C./San Diego/Sacramento Valley set.

Yes I do. When he took over as governor Davis had our state in such a mess and Arnold has done a hell of a job turning things around. Changes take time and his goal and ideals for California are realistic and reachable.
peace

He did ok. some issues worked, some issues did not. can't anticipate the guy to be a miracle maker. in basic terms the plus part, I were given to inform everyone else (even as i became contained in the defense force) that my Governor might want to kick their Governor's @$$.

Yes I do - he is so much better than the running mate - I'm a democrat but I voted for him anyway - I do live in CA and feel he has done good for my state. :)
