McClintock is against both 78 and 79.
I have his list - but I'm waiting until it's closer to the election - hoping that people will copy down the info to vote correctly.
We were discussing Prop. 76 -- some so-called conservatives here are against it, don't want to have limited spending, even though they claim they do. They also claim to be big McClintock suppoerters, yet in such fundamental area, such as reduced spending, they are AGAINST it.
Propl 78 and 79 are a whole different issue. McClintock goes by principle, but doesn't consider the ultimate result. Ideally, I agree they neither of these will pass. But in reality, Prop 79 was proposed first and it was going to pass. The only "defense" is to call it that, was to put a competing proposition, Prop 78 on the ballot, which is at least more reasonable, in fact much more reasonable, because it's a voluntary program by the drug companies.
If all conservatives vote no on both, prop. 79 WILL pass. If we vote yes on 78 and no on 79, there is a chance that 78 will pass and will override 79, if it gets more votes than 79.
The choice is between "the worst" or a "moderate" one. Again, voting NO on both, will get you "the worst". That's why Arnold sensibly supports 78 and is against 79.
Outside of these 2 propositions, McClintock and Arnold have exactly the same recommendations.
