"Baugh hopes that a Schwarzenegger re-election this fall will give the state GOP what he calls “a bench,a conservative bench—Tom McClintock as lieutenant governor and Chuck Poochigian as attorney general.” Both candidates are strong conservatives across-the-board"
If Arnold gets defeated, it's not likely that McClintock or Poochigian would win, or even if they do, they would be hamstrung by the Dem governor and wouldn't be able to do anything, while if Arnold gets reelected, they will have a seat at the table.
Thats a win in my book.
