2.How come in your post, you go to great lengths to avoid mention of Tom McClintock? Very suspicous. And McClintock is not a social conservative, he is a fiscal conservative and a social Libertarian.
1. Yes, I am aware Arnold has a last name. I have been watching movies for a long time now. I have referenced him as "Schwarzenegger" as well. Read the "article" that I wrote which this whole discussion is related to. You will see him referred to by last name several places there. But I can only speculate why you are putting forth such a trivial question. Do you really think that I maybe I've only heard of the man just now and didn't catch his last name? Or are you trying to insinuate something else which I couldn't even possibly guess?
2. Once again, read the article. I refer to McClintock quite a bit there. I made a point to refer to Simon in my later posts about the negative fallout of electing someone besides Arnold because Simon is the most demonstratable example. The retribution against Republicans wouldn't be quite as bad or quite as far-reaching if McClintock wins, but he still wouldn't be accredited a mandate to any degree. And he would still be automatically recalled. The Democrats have more or less publicly threatened recalling any Republican who wins. And you know with a million more hardcore Democrats than Republicans in California, they will certainly have the numbers and the anger to do it. The regular folk in the state would not put up with them trying to do it to Arnold Schwarzenegger though. He is one of California's favorite citizens.
