McLintockians - the political equivalent of Betamax users.

How can you say that this early in the campaign? Have you read the guy's speeches? Do you know his positions on the issues well? He's quite a statesman in my view. We shouldn't write him off as obsolete just because he isn't on TV every day like some of the other candidates. Californians need help, not "tough love" or celebrity.

Betamax was a functional product. Some buyers preferred it to VHS. In the end, few bought it because it never really caught on - it was swarmed out by other marketing.

It is analogous to McClintock.

... and if he manages to sneak in he will be REAL effective with Cruz as his Lt. Gov. and a totally ticked off Dem Majority in the legislature... Sure, he's going to be able to get all those things he wants done....right....

The wagering windows are open as to how long it would be before a recall against him is passed .....
