Two of the three will have to drop out within one month.

If not Cruz is next Governor.

That is exactly right. That is what the Dems are counting on. It is another election where the California Republicans can and probably will snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

agreed, they are unelectable. Cruz is a viable candidate. We need crossover votes from Democrats. Neither Simon nor McCLintock will supply that. So yes, those two are unelectable. Remember if Schwartenegger hadn't run, Riordan would have and he would be the front runner now.

I wouldn't be surprised to see at least one of the top Republican candidates drop out of the race and throw his support to another Republican candidate. As we get closer to election day, candidates will be keeping their eyes on the polls. If a candidate feels that he doesn't have a realistic chance of winning, he might seriously consider pulling out of the race.

I want Simon to drop out for McClintock. It will help McClintock big time. The same voting public that would consider McClintock is the same group Simon is aiming for.

A fragmented Republican ballot will only allow Cruz to win.
