I was against the California recall (and I still am). I am against celebrity politics. But I really think Schwarzenegger’s speech was brilliant. And for reasons that most pundits and reporters won’t appreciate. In the past, moderates did their schtick about how the Right was too obsessed about abortion or how it was wrong about affirmative action. What Arnold did tonight was not only reach out to moderates but he reached out to conservatives and reminded them that we still have a lot in common with the moderates.
