Arnold stays, Tom will go. It will happen. Tom's a loserman.

"However, he will make a great Lt. Governor."
There is no election for Lt. Governor! If Cruz is not elected Governor, he remains as Lt. Governor!
To: Hue68
You, FairOpinion, Hillary's Lovely Legs and some others need to go read post No. 121. How do you reconcil such leftist, socialist positions with conservatism? Arnold all for capitalism for himself and socialism for the rest of us as far as I can tell.
To: sruleoflaw
The issue isn't whether you have interviewed McClintock and Arnold can't tie his shoes, yada, yada. Is anyone attacking McClintock on these threads for his positions? The issue is whether he can win. Ross Perot ...
Your irrational insistence on McClintock will result in a Bustamante win. If McClintock gets out, will you stay home, vote for Arnold or vote for Bustamante because he is "pure"?

"Your boy is a flaming liberal. McClintock will accept his endorsement as soon as he has the brains to leave."
"Flaming Liberal" ???
Im sure you would have no problems pointing us to the evidence of this.

A lot of Republicans support Arnold only because they believe the fiction that a conservative cannot win. Irrelevant. A lot of the supporters of Arnold are cross-over moderate Democrats. To win California for the Republicans, you need the cross-over vote. Living here, I know many Democrats who are seriously considering voting for Arnold, but none of them considers McClintock a candidate they would vote for because he is way too socially conservative (ideologically) for their taste. Fiscal conservatives can do just fine in California all things considered.
Even if Arnold stepped out of the race, McClintock would only pick up maybe half of the votes currently going for Arnold. If McClintock stepped out of the race, Arnold would get almost all the supporters of McClintock in his camp.
Bottom line, the Republican that can attract the Democrat cross-overs in an election where you have a real chance at cross-over votes will be the only Republican that can win. Otherwise, you'll have a situation like the last gubernatorial election in California where the moderate cross-over crowd stayed home and the Democrats won by default by a minor margin.

I think the activitism/which party is more motivated to come out at the polls question is a tossup right now, considering how disliked Davis is in the state.
To: RS
Go read post no. 121. That's just a start.
To: Let's Roll
On a cold day in hell, that's when I would vote for Arnold. Have you read Rush's stuff on Arnold? I know what kind of guy he is...and I'm not impressed. Others will be surprised by Arnold's antics. I won't.
To: prarie earth
McClintock needs to get on Arnold's advisory team.
To: Cinnamon Girl
That would be a start..
To: RS; Spiff
See #121 for plenty of evidence and a small portion of what is available. I would add: Warren Buffett and Planned Barrenhood Wilson. You don't think much of the lives of innocent children? Neither does Arnold. Neither do Buffett and Wilson. Fine. Don't expect votes from those who do.

I'll bet he will drive more Republicans away if Tom uses the same "flaming liberal" label to describe some of the things I and Arnold agree with -
And I don't think I've ever voted for a Democrat.

McClintock has principles. You guys don't. Misery loves company, right? Can't stand the fact that people with principles will show you up every time? Too bad!

McClintock might be a better ideological choice, but it looks like Arnold has more appeal across the political spectrum... Did you even read the article? The latest poll shows that Schwarzenegger has a UNFAVORABLE rating for 7 out of 10 Democrats...
