McClintock has until March 10th to declare for the Governorship. I think it's time we wrote and urged him to switch races.
I wouldn't encourage it. If McClintock challenges Schwarzenegger, the CAGOP will move heaven and earth to sabotage his campaign and work tirelessly to defeat him in his net try for office. They would be vicious.
It's one thing to face an honest opponent and yet another to campaign while covering your 6 against attack from partisan extremists from within your own party.
The only hope I would see of McClintock switching races is if Arnold dropped out and the CA GOP agreed to support him (instead of stabbing him in the back, as usual). I don't put high odds on either happening.
If one is going to write, I think it should be to the CA GOP and to Arnold.
