I believe Duke served two terms, did he not? I don't recall right now and I'm too tired to look it up.

Regardless, I agree with you that unless Simon drops out McClintock is not likely to win. Simon needs to put his ego aside and do the right thing as Issa did. Arnold has a completely different base than McClintock. Right now, his supporters are mainly harassing conservatives to put aside their beliefs and sell their souls to a Dem in Republican clothing. It's a hard sell because conservatives are much smarter than liberals.

Duke served two terms and won the second against Bradley by a larger margin than the first....
