"So, you admit voting for a closet Democrat in order to "win"? "

No, I voted for the Republican candidate who actually had a chance to win.

"You call conservatives "fanatics" and then accuse us of putting you in a slot?

Nope - the overwhelming majority of Conservatives are not fanatics.

"I would prefer that we had three years of a wounded Davis fighting opposition tooth an nail ..."

I appreciate your honesty - does this mean you would have followed your preference and voted FOR Davis ?

I have to disagree regarding his being "wounded" - conversely, I think he would ahve been embolded as there would have been NO chance of a second recall being mounted.

More fables do your arguments no service.

Despite having the second lowest Republican registration of any senate Republican seat up for election this year, McClintock's campaign ran more than 19 points ahead of party registration - the largest margin of any senate Republican:

Candidate Party Votes Percent
* Tom McClintock Republican 226,225 61.0%
Paul Joseph Graber Democratic 144,800 39.0%

Here is the last USA Today/CNN/GALLUP poll before the recall.

"6. If the choice were between Cruz Bustamante, the Democrat and Tom McClintock, the Republican, who would you be more likely to vote for: Cruz Bustamante or Tom McClintock?"

September 25-27
Registered Voters

McClintock 49%
Bustamante 42%

Probable Voters

McClintock 56%
Bustamante 37%

McClintock now enjoys a higher favorability rating in California than does Arnold.

Nope - the overwhelming majority of Conservatives are not fanatics.

Is THAT why Dick Riordan lost to Bill Simon by fourteen points? Who knew? The ONLY reason we are even having this discussion is that 1.6 million Republicans stayed home in 1992, after the backstabbing Simon got from his own Party leadership. Even with that, he lost by only 325,000 votes.

You see, the only fanatics in the CRP are the RINOs who would rather lose to a Democrat than support a duly nominated conservative candidate.

I voted for McClintock and against the recall.

I have to disagree regarding his being "wounded" - conversely, I think he would ahve been embolded as there would have been NO chance of a second recall being mounted.

He would not have got his tax increase past the Republicans the way Arnold got his borrowing, AND NOW THREATENS THE TAX INCREASES ANYWAY.
