The Wisdom of "GOP strategists"
From the WSJ:

"Mr. Edwards "will end up looking oily, overly ambitious, a little too polished and not ready for prime time," said Ken Khachigian, a veteran of Republican presidential campaigns since Richard Nixon."

Of course, that's the same Ken Khachigian who was running Issa's campaign for Ca governor who said about Arnold:

"Arnold is the message," Gorton said. "He comes across so well with such charisma that people are moved to like him."

That won't cut it, said Ken Khachigian, Issa's campaign manager.

Also:

Schwarzenegger has little choice but to try to appeal to conservatives, said Kenneth L. Khachigian, a longtime Republican strategist who worked with recall backer Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Vista).

"The main reason is that the recall is fundamentally a conservative Republican mainstream movement," he said. "That's where all the momentum and energy behind the recall comes from."

And:

"What's Arnold's claim on the office?"
