McClintock isn't Simon. He has experience and doesn't have his scandals.

Also, This is a different type of election. It's not a two way race with a runoff. It's not on election day. It's a special election.

The best organized campaign who gets their voters out wins.

I'll go out on a limb. Cruz WILL lose. The winner will be EITHER Ahnold or McClintock.

As I said before, if I though McClintock had a chance of actually winning, I would vote for him myself. I like the guy. Maybe it will be his time next time, but not today.

Given the dynamics and current situation, and the desperate Dem machinery, which will put everything in play to keep CA, Bustamente has a strong advantage, and the one who can beat him is Arnod. If McClintock and Simon weren't running, I would still be nervious, that Bustamante may squeak in by a whisker, but McC & Simon syphoning away R. votes at least doubles Bustamante's chances.
