I'm sorry but, no, Arnold will not recieve all conservative votes if McClintock bows out. Some of us will not vote at all, others will vote to recall Davis and give our votes to a sure loser. The consensus is that most true blue conservatives will not vote at all. Why should we compromise our beliefs for the misdirected belief that a conservative cannot win in California, when Tom McClintock, himself recieved 30 to 40% of his votes in the November 2002 election from Democrats? McClintock is the man for the job, he has not only said what the problems are but the solutions as well. Arnold has skirted the issues at every chance. Why would I vote for an untested, unsure candidate who has thrown himself in with Democrats when I can vote for a very qualified, tested conservative who has been in the trenches fighting for conservatism for twenty years? I will not be bought by Arnold's millions and one liners. He has not shown me any reason, not one, to gain my confidence nor my vote. If we split the vote and Bustamonte wins, so be it. Maybe over the next few years under Democrat guidance, California voters will wise up to the fact that Democrat policies do not work and we will elect a real Republican such as McClintock to govern what once was the Golden State. Until we have a real leader with sound fiscal policies, we will have nothing but the same old, same old. As for those of you making fun of State Senator Tom McClintock, you are proving exactly why we cannot gain decent leadership. If Republicans would stand together, with confidence in a true conservative Republican, we could sway many voters and we would win. I have been in the trenches collecting recall signatures and registering new voters, overwhelmingly people are registering as Republicans. If all we have to offer these new Republicans is someone very similar to a Democrat then they will not stay around long. Moderation causes ambivalence. We need to stand up for our conservative values not shy away from them with the false idea that a conservative cannot win in California. Why compromise our principles?
