Your post is probably the most sensible I've seen. Unless the 'pubbies unite behind one serious candidate, we're gonna see Senor Cruz as el jeffe.

I suppose I could be convinced that McClintock could be the frontrunner, if there was enough consistent neutral polling to that effect. However, as a longtime student of California politics and demographics, I just don't see McClintock winning. The winner in major California elections is determined by what one commentator called "the capricious million" some 35 years ago: the 'moderate' voters who are turned off by appeals they see as ideological and who want to vote for someone they can feel good about. As I read this race, Arnold is the only 'pubbie who won't give those middle voters agina, and therefore, I think he's gonna be the guy. If McClintock really wants influence, he should get together with, and behind, Arnold now, while he has something to bargain with, and make a deal for conservative influence.

Alas, that's pretty much were things stand. Let's all pray that The Terminator and The Tominator get together.

Thanks

And he won;t give anyone his agenda... other than what we can see and hear thru his cutesy soundbites and Prop 49 support and offering of bringing back businesses to support socialist programs.

Yup..Arnie IS the man ... NOT.
