MAF: Well, to be fair, 3 of the candidates are in a deadlocked Senate which is running up against the veto anyway, and the other four are former officeholders. There really isn't much they
can do, other than talk.
Plus, I try to never vote on whether I think a candidate is a good person, or "really cares", or something like that. It's too easy to overestimate my ability to judge those things with someone who I'll never meet.
I like a lot of what Arnold's doing, but I think it's mostly because
all his ballot initiatives got smacked down a couple years ago, so he had to make nice with the Democrats. Which is basic politics, but still puts him ahead of some other guys. When Maryland had a Republican governor, he didn't do anything besides butt heads with the Dem legislature for four years.
