...McClintock would have been my choice, but that he was not electable in the current political enviroment within the state.

That's where you are wrong. In a normal election, you would have a good argument that McClintock couldn't be elected, but we were in a recall election, where the rules were slightly different. If conservatives had ignored the Arnold for the liberal he always was and voted for McClintock, he would have won with an easy plurality. He most likely would not have won re-election, but for the couple of years he was in, he could have done a hell of a lot of good.

Hmmmm. I had similiar debates back when that was going on, and I always remembered it was a special election cycle.

From here, it didn’t look to me like McClintock stood a chance in hell under the circumstances...but we’ll never know.

Is he going to run for Governor next time it comes up?
