There are times it's best to stand for principle and support conservatives (most of the time), and there are times to cut your losses and choose half of something over a lot of nothing.

This race falls under the second catagory.

there are times to cut your losses and choose half of something over a lot of nothing.

Finally, someone arrived.

The reply demands an honest question. Beyond the banality offered, is there an apperciation of the circumstanes in California, especially the governance philosophy of Schwarzenegger and his official actions to date?

The question is posed because of the reference to half of something, implying that Schwarzenegger actions, in the capacity of his elected ofice, had some aspects which were conservative. Actions taken, in the name of conservatism, that were bound to result in net, personal harm.

CF: Actually, if you think you are getting half a loaf, you are kidding yourself. However, suppose you are right. You might get half a loaf now, a quarter of a loaf four years from now, an eighth of a loaf four years later, a sixteenth....., a thirty-second....., a sixty-fourth.... Maybe there is a plan for victory in all this compromising leftward, but I am darned if I see it.

Also, note that McClintock got 45% in 2002 and, as things stand, you cannot expect Musclehead to do that well even with all of his heresies compared to McClintock's principled Republicanism.

We are not here to accept the inevitability of Marxist, lavender and baby-killing gummint. If we were, that would be a self-fulfilling prophecy posing as a strategy. We ARE here to fight and hammer the damnable Demonrats whenever they surface teir ugly heads, drive wedges among them and peel off their constituencies by using those wedges. It works nationally. It will work in California.
