This is the guy who should have been governor of CA instead of Arnie.

It would have been nice if he could have been able to show he could get votes against Bustamonte (the failed butcher), or Arnold for that matter. Everything takes votes.

Pubs should elect McClintock speaker.

Don't blame me. I voted for McClintock. (And got castigated on here for it.)

"This is the guy who should have been governor of CA instead of Arnie."

McClintock for Governor was the last vote I cast before leaving California.

If not for the actions of the NRC, he would have been.

Indeed, many folks around these parts sided with The Taxinator claiming that Tom McClintock was unelectable in the face of his Democrat challenger.

These folks, and the NRC got what they wanted --A RINO at the helm of California instead of a fiscal and social conservative.

Of course, many of these same folks were quick to criticize the actions of the man they'd previously supported for Governator.

The rest, as they say, is history.

I forget the exact percentage, but he got a good amount of votes. If everyone that voted for Arnold just because “he could win” had voted for McClintock instead, he would have been governor.

But Sacramento is full of Democrats. There is little a Republican can do when the state legislature is jammed with harden Democrats.

Arnold tried introducing bills but was overwhelming voted down by Democrats.

Tom McClintock, while a good guy, would have met the same fate. Face it. Arnold was not the problem, a total Democratic legislature wins.
