Well, well, the Dems managed to muster up more party discipline than I gave them credit for. They managed to persuade Garamendi to drop out of the race. That means that the Republican vote will be split between (at least) Arnold, Bill Simon and Tom McClintock. This might mean that the Donkeys keep control of the governorship.

I’m not necessarily unhappy about that, because if that happens, it will continue to be clearly their mess, and it will bode ill for them next year.
