That my friend would be the focus of a politician that is wanton of power and notoriety. Although I live 2000 miles from LAX I do see the "Tom McClintock" vision and see it as an unfaultering conviction to the point of donating to his election fund which is the first time I have EVER given to any politician in my life! (middle aged as I may be)
I see Tom McClintocks endeavors for election to the Governors seat as priority for him to help alieviate California's woe's and is steadfast in his focus on doing so. If he were to be focused on just maintaining political power, and the betterment of himself, then yes, I could envision his pursuit for the Senators seat.
