I think McClintock should stay in for at least a few more weeks. We don't know what will happen to the Schwarzenneger campaign once the "real" mud begins to fly. Also, as Schwarzenegger begins to further detail his platform and he takes attacks on it, we may need a safety valve in the end if Schwarzenegger looks like he will go down for the count.

Bottom line: it's too early for McClintock to bail. Save it for the final weeks when one or the other can throw their endorsement the other way.

I agree with you. Just heard both McClintock and Schwartzenegger interviewed by Roger Hedgecock here in San Diego. Yes, McClintock has a better grasp of the issues, you have to remember, Arnold just got in. Tom could keep the debate on the issues that are the most important and even sway Arnold on some, maybe. But in the end, there must only be one Republican, or else, this whole thing has been for NOTHING. At this point, I'd rather keep Davis than vote in Bustamante. He's worse.
