My perception of reality? Okay then, lets see you post the list of hit articles in major media against McClintock compared to Schwarzenegger... list the negative TV ads against him... show me where Davis/Bustamante/Clintons spoke negatively about him as much as Arnold.
You don't have the courage to admit you can't....
Bottomline. McClintock could have beaten Bustamonte and all this nonsense about Arnold being the second coming of Ronald Reagan would be of no consequence. Instead, California got what they deserved. A liberal RINO for Governor.
