I've seen people be idiots for a long time in either making protest votes or not voting at all, so I don't have to be a genius on that one.
I live in California, so I can read the atmosphere around me as to how the people are responding to various issues.
I observe well, can spot the issues and if I gather good facts I can come to what will be the probable outcome regarding races in politics.
McClintock is weak as a force of personality.
He lacks likability.
He appears to not be a team player.
If you feel like getting him nominated as the next Governor in the primaries, go for it. I think he will lose that badly.
When it is Arnold against the Democrat, vote the Republican. To make a protest vote for some pathetic third party or to not vote in the regular election would be working for the Democrats.
"He appears to not be a team player."
Team players are stupin pukes whether they are in government or business. Anyone that was a go along to get along POS I fired immediatly!
