Hmmmm? I find it interesting that this thread is mostly commented on by people WHO DON'T LIVE IN CALIFORNIA - or those people WHO SUPPORT BUCHANAN!!

Either way - your comments have no value because you don't even know who the candidates are or what they stand for.

I suggest that everyone support who they want to support until the day of the election.

By that time, it will be clear which candidates have any shot at all of winning. And at that point, each of us should make a commitment to casting our vote only for the one we consider to be the best out of the group of those with an actual shot of winning-- that we don't stay at home if our guy doesn't have a real shot.

All sides on the Republican side should commit to this. If you are an Arnold backer, but the polls show Simon 8 points ahead of Arnold come election day, then you should vote Simon. If you are a McClintock man, and he's single digits and Arnold is winning, you don't stay home, you get out and vote Arnold and encourage others to do the same. If you want Simon, but McClintock has cornered the conservative vote and has a real chance while Simon does not, you vote Tom.

THAT is how a coalition builds and thrives. It breaks down, to the detriment of all of us, when some group sits one out because the other side got their guy in position.

I am with you. I am sick and tired of hearing about "pure" or "true" conservatives. Conservatives cannot win in some States so you back a Republican that can win which in this case is Arnold.

Guess I don't fit in with their idea of "pure" or "true" conservative because I want Republicans to win all over the Country. If they are moderate and win, then that is usually because that State will not elect conservatives statewide. Will take a Republican anyday of the week over anyone with a (D), (I), or any other thing behind his name. In fact, this crap about "pure" or "true" conservative is driving me more to the middle by the day. This Bush Republican has had it!

Today President Bush said that Arnold would make a good Governor! Bet he gets trashed by some on here for making that statement.

Republicans had an excellent chance to beat Davis in 2002 and conservatives blew it IMO by backing Simon who ran a horrible campaign. I cannot believe they are trying to shoot themselves in the foot again with supporting more conservatives that cannot win in CA.

Believe Arnold will draw support from all over and win no thanks to the some conservatives out there that don't seem to have a clue that the purpose to get in a race is to win not be a spoiler!
