I disagree with you.

Californians passed up a rare opportunity to elect a conservative Republican the next governor of California. In the last Gallup poll released before the recall election, McClintock was beating Bustamonte something like 54%-36%. You guys on the leftcoast caved to the star power of a Hollywood icon and today you have a liberal leading the state. That was you choice.

Find the last poll you are citing and post it. I don't remember anything like those numbers for McClintock.

Tom McClintock was DOA. There is no way that McClintock could have won ... Arnold won in a landslide. And here's the kicker: Arnold really is the way the party is going. Like it or not, it's a fact.

Intellectually dishonest, par for the course for the Arnold bashers. Reagan Man knows very well that Davis/Bustamante/Clintons/liberal media never campaigned against McClintock and tried to push his numbers up higher for him at every opportunity. Had McClintock ever been considered a serious contender they would have hammered him and thus the recall into dust.

Even with liberal help McClintock made a poor showing... Field Poll as of October 3.

Schwarzenegger - 36%
Bustamante ------ 26%
McClintock ----- 16%

Yes on Recall -- 57%
No on Recall --- 39%

You are smoking crack. McClintock never polled over 40%, much less in the last Gallup poll before the Recall.

You simply have no idea of what you are spouting.
