Yesterday I named three things Arnold S. could to do to appeal to conservatives. I neglected to mention a fourth: Endorse Proposition 54, Ward Connerly’s latest initiative, which would ban the state from collecting information about the race and ethnicity of its citizens. For a couple of weeks, AS has said he’s studying Prop. 54 and would announce his decision before Election Day. Last night, however, Connerly emailed to say AS has come out against Prop. 54. The candidate also added this little flourish: “And if the right-wing crazies have a problem with that, so be it.” It is becoming increasingly clear that there is no conservative case to be made for Schwartzenegger. The man has given us “right-wing crazies” almost nothing except the hope that he might win. Friends, this is the definition of a Pyrrhic victory.
