"El Gusto Breasts"

LOL, i love the way that's caught on. Cruz Bustamante, you gotta admit, it's a great Cal-I-for-NIA name, as Ahrnold would say.

It makes me think of American Grafitti, the Chicano version.

McClintock can and will win.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Real Republicans in California want a true conservative here, but, most of all, REAL Republicans do NOT want Cruz Bustamonte or Gay-I'd-sell-my-soul-to-the-devil-for-a-vote Davis as our governor. In my world, I'd have McClintock as our governor, but not everyone shares my ideals. We MUST NOT have Davis and ESPECIALLY not have Bustamonte as the winner in this race. If we get Arnold, we're very fortunate.

Well said.

Thanks for posting those stats (Post #35). Yes, it's the leftie LA-LA Times trying to convince the country that the recall is losing steam. Ha! It's only "losing steam" because their Demopuke slate is tanking!

JZ can beat ya blindfolded, baby, so don't even go there.

[Roscoe]

he will get no suport from the party

Nobody does. It's pretty broke.

The dirt on Schwarzenegger will be released about 72 to 48 hours before the election. There will be no opportunity to respond. It may drive the vote between 2 and 7 percent away from him.

[fieldmarshaldj]

"He's finished. It's Arnold vs Cruz."

Then California's finished.

[strela]

McClintock can and will win ...

... these lovely parting gifts, from Dicker and Dicker of Beverly Hills.

Schwarzenegger will win the Governor's race though.

[CatoRenasci]

No, he can't. Just won't happen.

[Roscoe]

Party leaders have ALREADY told McClintock to quit.

Party leaders Arnold staffers have ALREADY told McClintock to quit. So what?

[prarie earth]

You have internal numbers that say McClintock maxes at 15%?

[fieldmarshaldj]

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

You guys are denser than steel. The choice between 2 liberals is NO choice.

[summer]

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

Your comment could lead into a whole discussion on one's values. Obviously, people who choose to become teachers are not likely to earn $30 million a year - even if those teachers do have the "desire, drive and ambition" to be the very best teacher possible.

I was always turned off by Jon Corzine's candidacy in NJ because here is what he did: (1) Divorced his wife; (2) Dumped his kids; (3) Then ran for NJ senator; (4) Paid a staggering sum of bucks for the seat of power he wanted; and all the while, (5) went around saying he identified SOOOO Much with the Little People.

Well, yes, he won the race, but I still think he doesn't know jack about how his wife or kids or others might think about certain issues. And, yes, people voted for him, but I would not have, for a variety of reasons.

If that's what you mean by "desire, drive and ambition" you're right - I do not have enough of "it."

[LibertyAndJusticeForAll]

Great news. I'm sure he will be rewarded by the GOP in some way at some point in the future.

No doubt there is a call for Mr. Tom McClintock...

[rwfromkansas]

About time.

[Sacajaweau]

I'm worried about one thing and that is the wording of the ballot on the proposition to remove Davis. Does anyone know what the ballot will look like and whether it could cause ANY confusion???? Not that the Dems are sneaky or anything.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Wait a sec... Is it 4% or 15% ? All the RINOs have been running around claiming McClintock is at 4% ! You guys can't even get your propaganda straight !
