I've stated repeatedly that I support McClintock, but he just can't win.

So? It isn't true.

It isn't?
And how is McClintock going to overcome Bustamante's 12 point lead, let alone Arnold's 51% coalition of Republicans, Democrats, independents, and non-politicals?

Upon what basis do you lump Tom McClintock with Bill Simon, other than that they diverge from Ahnold?

Don't get me wrong, I think there is a world of difference between McClintock and Simon. Simon is a world-class loser and a bumbling idiot. Simon would bring ultimate death to the Republicans if he was elected. McClintock would not be nearly as bad of a reaction, but it would still create a backlash. Arnold is different because he is beloved by the people. He can't be painted as a partisan hack. If he won it would bring California together and Republicans would be off the hook for the recall. Anything else will surely bring voter anger and retribution.

Abortion (the ultimate red herring in a State election)?

Hey, at least we agree on something...

McClintock would not be nearly as bad of a reaction, but it would still create a backlash.

Any cut in spending will create a backlash. Ahnold is too malleable to have the nards. Look how Maria and clan have changed his politics.

Arnold is different because he is beloved by the people. He can't be painted as a partisan hack.

Where do you guys get this stuff? It's easy to paint him as an inexperienced tool of wealthy Republican insiders and that's just what they'll do. Class envy works.

If he won it would bring California together and Republicans would be off the hook for the recall. Anything else will surely bring voter anger and retribution.

How do you get an eight inch brush to work on a keyboard? That kind of baseless claptrap will get you NOTHING among the professional class in Silicon Valley, Orange County, San Diego, or on the Peninsula (all high-turnout voters).

For the record, I'm more convinced than I was back at #13 on this thread that you're a shill and a fraud.

You posted this thread under the pretense that you've "slowly come to the conclusion" that you are "now behind Arnold." That's a steaming pile of crap.

Your registered all of two days ago, and your first post ever was this thread was over here, Force Simon Out! Your first post was a thread? The day you registered?

Then you claim to have some dark night of the soul in less than 48 hours, on the same subject of the recall election, and you post your second thread? And you spend the entire day here preaching it like a new convert? Baloney.

You ain't no newbie, you've been here before, and you're playing dishonest games right now on Free Republic. You came here to post exactly this thread all along. Whether you're a professional (if so, you're overpaid) or an amateur, you're an operative with an agenda, and while you might fool some who want to believe that pap you're putting out, not everyone is so easily manipulated.

I might actually vote for Arnold Schwarzeneggar on October 7th, but it won't happen because of any of the gamesmanship and dissembling that you've ever done.
