Field poll? If so, it isn't very important. If not, it could be serious.

He can win. If everyone supports him. It CAN and WILL happen.

Simon & Issa are both good men and are dropping out for the good of the people which I admire. If McClintock can't do better, I feel certainly he will do the right thing also. We must WIN and Arnold is our best shot!

Fox just reported that Arianna paid $700 in federal taxes and ZERO in state taxes for the last two years.

"Well, you know, I just had other things to do with my money. And besides, the little people paid a lot of taxes, and so they didn't really need mine."

Last week she was being questioned, I think by Brit Hume on FOX, and he asked about her low polling numbers. Ariana responded by saying "Well, 45% of people dont' have faith in these polls anyway". And Brit said: "Wasn't that from a poll?". To which Air-head-iana replied: "No, it wasn't a poll, it was a survey!" LOLOLOL!!!! What a moron.

Demorats count on such feelings to raise taxes on the wealthy. Don't worry about Arianna, it's purely a publicity stunt in her case. No doubt the recall election laws will be promptly updated to prevent candidates of her ilk in the future.

If Buchanan were to run again, I wouldn't vote for him. I think he made his point and sadly nobody listened. Okay, we're living in the aftermath. Even today folks damn him for his immigration stance, even after 09/11.

He was so demonized by the press and members of his own party, that he is not only unelectable, but if he said the sun comes up and causes daylight, bashers would swarm the thread to call him an anti-Semite racist who was never right in his life.

I voted for Buchanan in 2000. I know where you're coming from. Installing a man the likes of BustAztlante on principle, by thowing your vote away, is a pretty tough sell, even for me.

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

That's not really something that I'm into, deeje. I leave the weird bedroom fantasies to others.

(Did you ever get BlackElk to show up in here? You sure pinged him or her enough times).

(Nice tagline, by the way. Looks like it was ... changed ... or something).

Doing voter registration today...should be interesting. R's have been doing really well since this recall started and hopefully Arnie will bring in some new voters!

McClintock would probably be the best medicine for California - unfortunately, he's too conservative to get elected (my humble opinion).

I agree with you. And I understand the sincere opinions of those who support McClintock. But the "reality question" is something that we Republican conservatives have to consider, and it's happening all across the country. Do we bend a bit and go with a candidate who isn't 100 percent conservative, or do we get on board with a coalition who will give us some of the conservative issues we want, and play with the middle of the roaders and even liberals on other issues?

I'm not a CA resident, so it's their decision. But I personally am excited by Arnold's candidacy. (And I understand and respect the opinions of those on FR who disagree with me.)

[Once-Ler]

What the hell is wrong with Simon. One week he runs negative ads against Rnold then he drops out the next week. What an ass.

[Mad_Tom_Rackham]

Arnold should drop out now and endorse McClintock.

Ain't gonna happen, unless somebody has pix of Arnold getting it on with a herd of farm animals.

[Publius6961]

OOOps.
My tag line was abducted by aliens

[rwfromkansas]

Interesting.

We will see. I just can't imagine many folks against Davis being against the recall, but at the same time, hatred at the GOP for trying to "steal the election" could be a big deal since that might motivate Dems against the recall altogether.

He can win. If everyone supports him.

I could fly by flapping my arms. If the law of gravity could be repealed.

[Walkin Man]

Are you at all in business or have ever made any money in your lifetime?

Oh, I see, its all about money! Thats all that counts in this world right? To hell with right and wrong! As long as the dollars are rollin in, its a good thing, right??

Yeah, thats the ticket!

I guess Arnie is our guy then because the abortion mills in California are making a KILLING money-wise and in other ways as well! And the future great repuplican leader Arnie is all for it!

Yeah and Arnie is gay agenda friendly to boot! Oh boy!

Funny, Arnie seems to be pro-death as well but...

Boy the MONEY will really be good...

LA is like 80% Democrat.

That low?!

How could someone find employment in the entertainment industry and its supporting fields, without being a card-carrying Dem?

I was thinking about people who start out with nothing but themselves, and become extremely successful. The money is merely one indicator of success. Can a person become wealthy and remember what it was like to be poor, or at least, not wealthy? You will have to judge that for yourself. Me, I would like to find out for myself. :) Rush and Hannity often talk about what it was like in their "less successful" days.
