Mr. DiCamillo said the ranking of the candidates, even with the margin of error, showed that Republicans voters were dividing their votes among the top four Republican candidates and that Democrats had more or less settled on Mr. Bustamante, the lone prominent Democrat on the replacement ballot.

If McClintock and Simon were real conservatives, they would do whatever it took - including withdrawing from the race - to insure a democrat was not elected. Somehow, I don't think they're really conservatives.

Reminds me of how Clinton won in 1992 with only 42% of the vote because the Republicans split their vote between Bush and Perot.

Who said anything about winning on the Repub side. Now the Democrats have figured that process out long ago.

With luck maybe the lower tier will drop out as the election day comes approaches and support the leading contender at that time..... we'll see.

Yep, they do it every time. Rather than getting together, deciding who has the best chance to win (and turn that state around) they'll fight to the bitter end and spend the next 4 decades moaning about how bad California has become.

Sigh, I'm sick of Californians moving to Arizona and trying to make this once conservative state as liberal as California.

Here's a Catch 22 for ya:
22 percent said Mr. Schwarzenegger = Tom McClintock picking up 9 percent + Bill Simon Jr. 8 percent + Peter V. Ueberroth 5 percent.

22 = 9+8+5 so guess it won't matter if Simon bails to back McClintock. That's only 17. Big Arnie ain't gonna budge and busting him down to help conservative(s) just helps Bustamonte - Catch 22.

The California GOP is doing everything it can to replace an ultra-unpopular Demcratic governor with a liberal Hispanic Democratic Lt. Governor. That way it will be even harder to defeat the Democrats in 2006.

All of Darrel Issa's money and the time of hundreds of volunteers to re-call Gray Davis could go to strengthen the Democratic Party's hold on California and beat the dead horse of California's Republican Party.

Warren Buffet will LOSE this election for Arnold! Is Arnold sabotaging his own candidacy or is his wife or does he think that Buffet is a Republican???

Arnold...you are an IDIOT for hiring Buffet.
