You could just as easily say that the race was between Schwarzenegger and Gray Davis. It is highly unlikely that voters would have removed Davis, and replaced him with Bustamante.

If it had come down to a Bustamante-McClintock shootout, McClintock would've taken a dive.

If it had come down to a Bustamante-McClintock shootout, McClintock would've taken a dive.

I'd be interested in knowing why you think so. You really think that McClintock would not have picked up a majority of the votes that went to Arnold?
