As we've seen here on this very thread, much of the support for McClintock is messianic in flavor. Many conservatives seem to see him as a Jesus-like figure who's standing for the truth against all odds. To abandon him and vote for Arnold or anyone else who is less than "pure" would be like abandoning Jesus, so it's not going to happen.

Now, since this is simply a gubernatorial election, not a messiah election, one can question whether this level of fervor and loyalty is merited or appropriate. But whatever the case, trying to convince certain folks that McClintock can't win so they should vote for Arnold is a losing proposition if there ever was one. My advice to Californians would be to get used to Democrats ruling over you.

Maybe you can answer my question, then.

Wrong.

McClintock is as far left as conservatives are willing to go, having experienced, witnessed, and remembered how people with the philosophical guidelines Arnold follows when elected to office.
