If everyone who was for McClintock actually voted for the man he would win! This "I like him but he can't win" is completely self defeating. He can win if people vote for the best candidate for the job.

No, he can't.
How many people on this forum are registered California voters?
How many conservatives are there in all of California's 15 million voters?
Arnold has 51% support statewide to Cruz Bustamante's 17% at last count. That leaves a maximum of 32% for the remaining 193 candidates to split between themselves. It is mathmatically impossible for McClintock to over-take Arnold, and highly improbable that he could even take second place even if Simon drops out.

I have not responded to you thus far because I believe you are:

a) an Arnold groupie/campaign worker
b)a minion of Bush/Parsky/Rove who are bent on destroying this state
c)another poster who decided to take a second screenname to harass McClintock supporters
d)all of the above

I'm not buying the schtick about thinking long and hard and choosing Arnold. We don't know a damn thing about his platform which Riordan is deciding at the moment. Thus far, no sale.

McClintock kicked a** as usual on Greta tonight.

This election is just getting started. It is not over by any stretch. Arnold's "base" is hardly reliable. A good percentage is star struck and will be lucky to figure out how to register to vote let alone find their polling place and vote. Second, Arnie's numbers can only go down once thinking voters realize he is all style and no substance. The one-liners and media manipulation are getting old already.

Current stats put Dems at 45% of registered voters and Republicans at 35% of registered voters. That does not factor in rampant voter fraud estimated between 5-30% in all areas of the state and closes that 10% gap an unknown amount. We cannot do anything about that in this election, let alone know whether anyone will ever do anything about it, but Republicans are more reliable voters than Dems.

The Dems are worked up because 58 days just isn't enough time to energize the fraud base. That takes time and money. As for the Arnold groupies, since you all insist McClintock doesn't have a chance and will be no factor in this race, why are you all working so frantically to destroy him?
