I think he was brave for staying in, not irrational. He promised his base he would stay til the end.

His base is not that important over potential sabotage that favors Democrats. His people were never so special that he should have risk giving us Bustamante.

What bothers me most about McClintock isn't McClintock.

It's his so-called supporters who insist on re-living the recall.

I want him to win as Lt Governor NOW.

The results show a different picture. Even if McClintock had withdrawn and his supporters had refused to vote for Schwarzenegger, Schwarzenegger would still have beaten Bustamante by a huge margin (60/40).

Well I see you and Alia don't agree on Bustamante!

"I don't think that was a overly "genuine" risk. Bustamante cooked his own goose -- on a nationwide level, already with his "past assertions and affiliations"."(Alia)

"His people were never so special that he should have risk giving us Bustamante."(A CA Guy)

Why do you insist on retaining such a diehard belief in that bogus assertion? He was never gonna win squat!!!

Don't even try to answer that, because I already have heard you conclusion jumping ad nauseum!!!
