Why haven't I seen any comment on this mostly positive article on Tom McClintock. As a NYC GOP activist, I know that in spite of Giuliani's national popularity among GOP circles, his brand of "moderate"/RINO politics has left the NYC GOP in worst shape than when he was elected in 1993. Case in point: Bloomberg and his tax hikes and capitulation to public spending. Also, Rudy's RINO background made him turn the other way in hiring RAT operatives in his administration which had no interest in promoting GOP candidates in the grassroots. Ditto for Ah-nold and his Wilson cronies.

I don't think that Tom can beat out Aaaahnold, but it would be pretty funny if he bounced Bustamante out of second place.

I read a new poll saying Ahnold was ahead again. I have mixed feelings about this Recall thing. I would love to see a conservative Repub like McClintlock get in. Granted i dont know much about him but from what i read he seems like a decent conservative. That being said California has been taken over by the loony left for quite some time so i really dont think he could get in. I would hope that if Ahnold could agree to appoint some conservatives to offices and help energize the GOP by attracting other unaligned voters then that would be acceptable. Still in a perfect world we would have conservatives winning everywhere right :)

Obviously written before the KABC Poll that has Arnold at 45%. I don't know why anybody would quote that phoney LA Times poll.

McClintock is DOA. Simon's entry did him in. I wish McClinock could be governor but he has no chance at all, and should drop out with an endorsement of Schwarzenegger. McClintock is just a spoiler now. All his staying in at this point does is increase the chances of us being stuck with another incompettent Democratic governor. I hate to say this but that's the way it is.

I continue to support Tom McClintock for governor, but I don't live in California and can't vote for him. The article is very good and the candidate is even better. McClintock stands on the principles of fiscal (and social) conservatism. He has a specific economic recovery plan for California and has led the anti-tax movement in the state legislature for 20 years. McClintock is responsible for the 1995 economic analysis called, "A Citizens Guide To The State Budget Mess" and also for the recent BRAC legislation that he pushed through the state Senate.

Rnold Schwarzenegger is a liberal, with an R next to his. Too bad that R stands for RINO. Rnold is no fiscal conservative and he continues to refuse to release his economic recovery plan for California. Rnold has offered NO specifics and NO details. Rnold says, that's something he will do, after the election. LOL I guess he mean, should he win the recall election.

Go Tom Go!

The prospect of Gov. Schwarzenegger worries him. "There's a dirty little secret about California tax policy: It takes a Republican to raise them," says McClintock.

Because there are people here that don't want to hear it... they just want to believe in Arnold, in the "R" by the name...... Arnold will raise taxes .... he will not change workers comp because he will not fight the dem that hard on it.... California is a state thats bleeding (jobs) to death.... and Arnold will not do what’s needed... and Californian will pay

"You could say the same thing about him," he says. "He's spoiling my chance to become governor."

Well, you could say that, but you would be lying.

The prospect of Gov. Schwarzenegger worries him. "There's a dirty little secret about California tax policy: It takes a Republican to raise them," says McClintock.

That's because tax hikes require a two-thirds majority in the California legislature. Although Democrats dominate both houses, they still need to pick off a few GOP votes to raise taxes. "When a Democratic governor proposes a tax increase, we can count on Republicans to unite against it," says McClintock. "When a Republican governor proposes a tax increase, however, he can always bring along the necessary number of Republicans."

McClintock continues: "That's what happened in 1991, when Pete Wilson imposed the biggest tax hike any state has ever had in American history. He had just won election saying he was against tax increases but he refused to rule them out. Now all of his people are advising Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Schwarzenegger is saying the same thing Wilson did. That concerns me."

This can't be emphasized enough, IMO.
