I watched that election cycle and the primaries before it, from here in Ohio, and on another political website (now gone totally kook). And I remember those that desperately wanted McClintock to be the nominee, not Arnold.
I didn’t think McClintock could win a statewide race for Governor, and nothing I’ve seen or heard from him has changed that viewpoint.
It doesn’t matter who the nominee is in California. Its a very unique political enviroment, one where a relative tiny union (prison guards union) has enormous clout statewide, for example.
I just don’t see how you can elect a bonafide conservative in the state the way things stood then, or stand now.
Did you watch, as the CA GOP starved McClintock's campaign of support and dollars (allowing ARnold and his liberal machine to take over the GOTV effort)? Did you watch, as Arnold stabbed him in the back publicly, right before the election? Perhaps if we didn't elect LIBERALS to be titular head of the Republican Party in California, under the guise of "the best we can do," the State might have a chance.
Must be because of your screamname!!! Here's mud in yer eye!!! Must be "that vision thing!" How come alla yer conservatives are comin up lame back there in retro OH???
You're one of them people in a glass house throwin rocks!!! Your momma tole yew to stop that or you'd go blind!!! Why do you keep arguin that you wanna keep it up till you need thicker glasses??? What'sa matta you???
I'm sure it doesn't matter one whit to you that your trying in vain to argue with a political professional that in employed in CA's Crapitol for one of the leading political figures in America's most populuous state!!! (and most popular, I must add)
