Maybe Arnold's decision to blow out new regs/laws isn't well thought out on the micro level, but one certainly cannot argue with sending a message to California's legislature to stop writing a bill to cover every goddamn thing some flake decides should be subject to a law.
Now, shred me with some stats and explain how I'm painting with a broad brush, JFK.

Arnold presided over a Gray Davis $100+ billion budget this year, but the soundbites from him are so good that the Republicans in this state couldn't care less. In general, Republicans talk a good game on spending, but it's only talk. You've got people here who are willing to kvetch that Bush and the GOP Congress are spending money like a drunken sailor, but they're not willing to vote accordingly, even though Kerry wouldn't exactly be able to sail pork through Congress.
