When Arnold finishes his term, California will have had Republican governors for 19 of 24 years. The state likes Republican governors.

It's too early to tell if the recall will turn out badly. For example, Proposition 54 -- the racial ignorance proposition -- failed because it Bustamante got millions of dollars for his campaign, which the courts ruled to be illegal. He turned the money over to the anti-proposition 54 campaign, which probably turned the tide.
California's budget last year avoided most of the pain by passing most of the budget cuts on to the following year. The hard cuts come next year. Schwarzenegger will have trouble pleasing many people with his choices, possibly discrediting Republicans even more.
The negative side of the campaign is too obvious to mention.
