The Gropenator is quite desperately trying to keep Miserable Failure's enormous unpopularity here in California from bringing down his own rather bleak poll numbers.  (Bush is at a pathetic 32% here in Cali, while Arnie's numbers are not much better at 36%.)

In addition to his criticism of the Bush administration for refusing to declare a preventitive state of emergency on California's fragile levee system, Arnold allowed himself a few more words of dissent from the Party Line on This Week with George Stephanopoulos this morning.

These, unsurprisingly, involved the issues where solidly Blue State California differs dramatically from President Fredo such as the environment and immigration.  Arnie allowed himself (gasp) to make the startlingly Reality-Based remark that it may just be hard to deny global warming much longer, and, perhaps, that building a wall along the Mexican border is a bit of a simplistic solution to illegal immigration (you think?).
