Ridiculous! We did NOT want Cruz Bustamante. There was absolutely no way Tom McClintock was going to win. You have selective memory of the circumstances.

Here is the last USA Today/CNN/GALLUP poll before the recall.

"6. If the choice were between Cruz Bustamante, the Democrat and Tom McClintock, the Republican, who would you be more likely to vote for: Cruz Bustamante or Tom McClintock?"

September 25-27
Registered Voters

McClintock 49%
Bustamante 42%

Probable Voters

McClintock 56%
Bustamante 37%

That was never in question. Typical of you! When did Arnold ever say he might drop out? You can wish, and wish and wish all you like, but circumstances don’t change on your whims.

Arnold, McClintock, Bustamante and others were in that race. McClintock was never going to win.

A little realism goes a long way.
