..If Arnie were to drop out, and encourage all who supported him to support Tom, Tom would still lose. The under 40 crowd either won't turn out, or will vote otherwise, and the demons would unite behind bushamecha..

That's the other side of the situation, exactly. It's Arnold that has quintupled calls to the republican party about registering to vote, not Tom. For them, Tom is just another Sacramento politico. That's all they know. It's Arnold's entry into the race that made the recall seem real. Like it could really happen.

If AS dropped out, I don't think the recall itself would succeed.

Kinda tough to call for me. I'd like to be behind McC, but would rather have incompetence as opposed to traitorousness. Arnie fires 'em up, just like The Duke.
