Combined, Conservatives of every stripe and just palin Republicans, in Californis, are in the minority. Splitting their votes, between Tom and Arnold ( and possibly even more fracturing, with Ubberoth ), does NOT, rationally nor logically, equate to Cruz coming in third; not ever !
Thank you for proving, conclusively, what some of us think about your political " skills ".
And can you point me to a point in time in the last 40 years when this hasn't been the case? Ronald Reagan and George Deukmejian nevertheless managed to get elected running as strong conservatives.
