McClintock is a great guy;his views are close to mine so I like him, but he can not get elected. Have you seen the new polls? He's down around 6%. I fail to see how anyone's principles are affirmed by losing and allowing a Dem to be governor. "Pure" conservatives were enraged when Bush 1 raised taxes. They either stayed home or voted for Perot. Thus giving Clinton the election with less than 50% of the vote. Principles were cold comfort as I watched Clinton trash the presidency and bring disgrace to our nation.

Your arguments about polls, and your suppositions about who or who cannot win leave me cold absent some indication of a single conservative principle in Schwarzenegger's heart or mind.

There are times when you fight even when the odds are stacked against you.

Those who surrender all principle simply because someone says they can't win are cowards.
