SCHWARZENEGGER Part II - Which one is the sellout?

We first brought this issue up yesterday. After reading this story, I'm convinced that one of these two people is a complete sellout. Either Schwarzenegger just sold out the entire Republican Party to a gay pro-choice activist, or Ms. Kennedy has just thrown away what looked like an impressive career up to this point. AP has now picked up the story and adds some important details:

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday took the first step to shaking up his administration after his resounding special election failure, appointing a longtime Democratic activist as his chief of staff.
...
"She's a woman that is known as being a hardworking woman, dedicated, and is willing to work whatever it takes to get the job done," Schwarzenegger said at a news conference. "She's willing to set her Democratic philosophy aside and do the job and do my vision - to be able to work together with Democrats and Republicans."

Wow, looks like Kennedy is the sellout huh? But then there is this:

"This makes Schwarzenegger a man without a country," said GOP strategist Dave Gilliard, who helped run the campaign to recall Davis. "The Democrats will never accept him or embrace him, and now he's breaking with his base. I don't understand it."

Not so happy Republicans. Victory for us? Well, Ms. Kennedy has this to say:

"I believe in this man, and I believe in what he's trying to do for this state and where he's trying to take California," she said. "I think a moderate Democrat and a moderate Republican - there is not a lot of light between us."

Not a lot of light? Either Ms. Kennedy is a gay activist who doesn't support gay marriage (perfectly possible, though hard to understand since she got married in Hawaii in 1999...), or Arnold has had some serious change of heart.

But wait, there's more...

Kennedy said she voted for all of Schwarzenegger's ballot measures, which would have capped state spending, changed the way legislative districts are drawn and reformed teacher tenure rules.

So I'm totally confused now. One of these two people has just completely walked away from their positions. We're talking about the CHIEF OF STAFF to a Governor. This isn't some random aide, this is the person tasked with making the administration run. I'm really curious to see how the Republicans respond to this move.

It's good to see that AP picked this up, but this story leaves a whole lot more questions asked than answered. Hopefully the media will continue to follow this story.

So tell us, which one do you think is the sellout?
