He has not forgotten his past.

Well, I think he has a very touching life story, from what I know of it.

But so do others in this country.

Also, some say there is much about Arnold's "part" that is about to come out, and is "not pretty" -- according to an article posted on Drudge. I have no idea what that may mean in terms of Arnold's past. But I suspect the fairy tale that is currently Arnold may have a few other chapters to it, if what others are hinting turns out to be true.

[strela]

What was actually said was that a $30m man is not a regular guy. Which is quite simply true. You turned it into some kind of commie thing

I said nothing about "commies". You fail - try again.

[Ciexyz]

Wow!

[summer]

Arnold's "part" = Arnold's "past"

Battnan,

Here's an opinion which differs from your own but from a different angle, You wrote,

"Is this what I want - of course not. McClintock would probably be the best medicine for California - unfortunately, he's too conservative to get elected (my humble opinion). Terminator represents the GOP's best odds for winning the election, but he's really a liberal with a more moderate fiscal viewpoint."

Prior to the current festivities in Iraq, the British press and all the liberal journalists loved PM Tony Blair and most of us, who call ourselves conservative, had reservations about him, some even despised him. Now, he's revered, he stepped up, but, in all likelihood, when all the conflict is over, he'll revert to his previous self.

After all is settled, how do we deal with the Tony issue?

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Party leaders have ALREADY told McClintock to quit. Like Simon, he'll be gone from the race before Labor Day. It's 43 days and counting...and the field needs to be cleared and have only 1 viable GOP choice.

Yes. McClintock has little money and he will get no suport from the party or affiliated organizations. He's finished. It's Arnold vs Cruz.

Good for her. The less taxes we pay the better!

[ConservativeMan55]

Go Tom Go! Tom McClintock for Governor!!!!

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yup, but you still have federal officeholders and enough legislators to have a say on the budget. Yes, it can get FAR worse, and will with Ah-nold.

[TheDon]

You are correct. You, and I, do not have the desire, drive, and ambition to be that successful.

[ConservativeMan55]

Desire, Drive, and Ambition. Three things that you choose to have. Those aren't given to you.

[summer]

Probably the same way... Well, you're obviously not talking about me here, since I have said repeatedly that I am not in CA and don't know as much as those people do about this race. But, thanks for your post to me. Nice to meet you, too. :)

THE reason that Bustamante will be elected Governor.

"Well, I will not compromise my principles!"

How noble! And so we have Bustamante as Gov. What an unmitigated disaster in the making.

[Howlin]

It may be just me, but I don't want somebody running my state and telling me why they need to raise MY taxes when they manage to NOT pay any at all.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"With that winning outlook on things, you may as well curl up and die."

You just don't get it do you ? RINOs KILL the GOP, it's that simple. You can deny it from now until doomsday, but it doesn't change that fact, period.

[DoughtyOne]

Let me see, McClintock tops out at 15% and Arnold never exceedes 25%. Now there's a dream come true for someone...

Would that be a person from DU or from FR?

[CatoRenasci]

I don't blame them, 'cause Arnold's definitely not an ideal candidate from a conservative viewpoint, but I think they're nuts if they think McClintock can win. California conservatives simply have to choose what's more important: a Republican governor to slow the lefties and help Bush in 2004 or helping Bustamonte keep total Demoncrat control of California until it becomes Mexifornia.

[ChewedGum]

How noble! And so we have Bustamante as Gov. What an unmitigated disaster in the making.

Disaster for CA in the short term, yes. But what does that mean for the GOP in the future of the state? It is Dem policies that spawned this disaster...

Gum

[Howlin]

Exactly.
