Sure, you want Arnold to trot out McClintock and run on "McClintock is conservative" to get 35% of the voters vote for him, if he is lucky, and 65% AGAINST him.
Brtilliant strategy, if you want Angelides to win.
Interesting! That is very telling, indeed.
Here you all said that a "joint ticket" was such a brilliant strategy. Now you are suggesting that Arnold would suffer from campaigning with McClintock. Can we assume ARnold has already abandoned Tom then? That would also explain the absence of an endorsement for Proposition 90, Eminent Domain (while endorsing the Dem backed Prop 84).
It also suggests the chances of Arnold and the CA GOP setting Tom up to win in 2010 are somewhere between slim and none.
Can't you just feel the love--the "unity"?
Actually the candidates in recent years who have gotten BELOW 35% are the RINO MODERATES you love so much. Tom Campbell comes to mind. McClintock has captured the highest percentage of any losing candidate. If you'd get your single-issue RINOs to just vote the party ticket, McClintock would have won Controller twice already.
Brtilliant strategy, if you want Angelides to win.
Are you really too embarrassed to support a Republican candidate on a Republican platform?
That's very sad.
