Tick, tock, tick, tock....That is the sound of the clock counting down the time until Tom drops out of the race and throws his support to Arnold. He will do it for the reason you mention, because he understands the difference between tactics and strategy.

When will he do so? That is hard to determine. He can both help and harm the recall of Davis, and his replacement with a Republican. So far, he must have determined he is providing more help than harm.

yep, I think he is helping in the recall. The problem will come if he and Arnold are neck and neck with both behind Cruz,,that would be a hard one.

The best scenario: Arnold offers Tom a meaty post in his administration, Tom drops out, Arnold wins
