"The GOP better run someone against him in the primaries." They effectively did. Named Tom McClintock. Lost.

Not true. Tom has never run against liberal Arnold in a Republican primary. If they did, McClintock would clean his clock.

"Tom has never run against liberal Arnold in a Republican primary. If they did, McClintock would clean his clock."

I won't argue the point about which of those two would win a true Republican primary. It is almost certain the two will never go head to head in a Republican primary for governor, so we will have no way of resolving it.

So you are free to claim anything you want, with no risk of being proven wrong.

The special election put them head to head, and McClintock didn't win. That is a proved fact.
