McClintock is being supported by a prominent Democrat who broke ranks and has donated to his campaign. He is respected by both sides of the aisle. He is likely the only one who CAN work with the Dems and Repubs in the legislature because he already has been. Here's the letter to the editor of the Ventura Star.

The Ventura Star (a letter to the editor)

"McClintock should win"

I've been a registered Democrat all my life. From 1983 to 1989, I provided the Democratic Party with free rent and utilities in my Village Oaks Office Park in Westlake Village and free headquarters for congressional, senatorial and presidential candidates.

I was repeatedly named Ventura County Democrat of the Year. One day, the Democratic Party announced in the newspaper that it was shocked that the Democrat of the Year was supporting Republican state Assemblyman Tom McClintock. I answered that I always support the best man, regardless of party affiliation.

If all Californians only knew what I know about Tom's record as state Assemblyman and state senator, they would vote for him to be California's next governor. He is honest, hard-working, dedicated and innovative. He has sponsored fabulous state legislation and is now the most qualified gubernatorial candidate of any party. I'm so sure of this that I'm donating $1,000 to his campaign -- because I love California.

"...He has sponsored fabulous state legislation ..."

... and what has he gotten passed ?

Tell me of his success, not that he "tried hard"

What has he delivered ?

What CAN he deliver if elected ?

Truthfully - what does he think he can actually acomplish if elected for these 3 years ?
