Cool. Heard anything about the Insurance Commissioner or Sec. of State race? We've got an excellent chance at those too.
Tom is an impressive guy who stands by his principles. The press savaged him during the recall, but I was struck by how smart, funny and carismatic he is in person.
He has a remarkable tolerance for other perspectives, based upon his deep understanding of history, democracy and freedom. In that sense, I believe his views, while conservative, come close to the states desire for principled and non-conformist leaders.
Great picture. That's the Tom McClintock I know.
I was reading through some past comments, and appreciate this earlier post of yours.

"Schwarzenegger and McClintock have struck a pragmatic deal as they run as a team for Governor and Lt. Governor. McClintock provides a reason for conservative Republicans to come to the polls and vote. Schwarzenegger forces the unions to throw their money away on Angelides while at the same time depressing the Democratic voter turnout.
The result is that Angelides is going down in flames, and McClintock has an excellent chance of defeating Garamendi. And if Tom is elected Lt. Governor, he'll become the odds-on favorite to be the Republican candidate for Governor in 2010 when Arnold is termed-out."
