I believe he was a candidate for governor but lost the nomination to Ahnold. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

It wasn’t a primary. He was third, falling behind Cruz Bustamante. I had to look it up, but I, like you, remembered that name. I had no idea he was in the house.

Yes. Around here, Ahnold was the candidate "who could win."

You may have heard that before.

That's correct. California conservatives (including yours truly) really wanted McClintock for Governor, but were afraid that he didn't have the numbers to defeat Cruz Bustamante, the left radical Lt. Governor at the time.

We were scared and bullied into throwing our support to Ahnold because he talked a good game, and had the numbers to defeat Bustamante. What a disaster that turned out to be.
