This is not the primary, this is the whole enchilada.
What a load! Yeah , it's a winner takes all race, but Arnie has to deliver some ideas first.. if he thinks he merits the conservative vote.
btw, The Recall ,effectively is neither a General or a Primary election, but a special election.
It does not follow typical convention, election-wise, period.
Sure, everybody wants an R to win, but when 1 of the Rs is woefully short of any credible proposals, plans or direction, Well, that's gives me pause for thought.
To deny Tom the opportunity would only be one more indication of how close minded and selfish the Arnold supporters are.
Its a bitch being a rookie at a debate, but maybe he'll be better prepared next time, rather than jerking the electorate around with movie hype and noncommittals on any number of issues or even appearing at debates.
I also think you give a lot of unwarranted credit to the Busty camp and all his minions. They have plenty of trash to hide themselves. Maybe if the Arnie supporters spent as much time working Busty over as they do Tom, .. never mind.
