I like McClintock a LOT.
His radio plugs for Arnolds props were great.
His thinking and writing always makes me hungry for more.

IMO if he hadn't stayed in the recall race, if he'd withdrawn, I have no proof, but I suspect the recall wouldn't have passed. So I don't fault him for that anymore.

As stated at the very beginning of this thread, I'm afraid McClintock doesn't have a chance at Lt. Gov if not elected side by side with the (R) gov candidate.
True, it's a separate race, but not really.

If the goal is to defeat the dem and support the most conservative candidate, the time for Tom is now, through Arnold, just as it was for Arnold, through Tom.

Careful, doodlelady. You're starting to present favorable points towards McClintock. The Ah-nold RINObots will soon be attacking you for thinking for yourself and saying something positive regarding the man. Good for you !

P.S. BTW, I absolutely agree with you. If McClintock had left the Gubernatorial recall election, the recall would've failed.

I would be with you on all you said about McClintock if not for what he did in staying in that special election till the end.
For me that was a "What is he thinking?" moment.

If he did not do that, I think he would be many more points in the state up compared to where he is now.

In any case he needs to work on his likability. He has to motivate more than conservatives to vote for him in California.

I think his self marketing as been real lacking.
Had he gotten a better promotion team and not stayed in the last Gov. race till the end, he could be near ready to be electable now.

IMO, he is not electable at this time for Governor.
Sure, if a miracle happened and he won a primary against Arnold I would vote for him, but he would lose against the Democrat anyway.
