Getting time for the stuff to hit the fan!

Never say never!!

Tommy boy has to think about his future, which could be spectacular if he is willing to play ball with the professionals!

[ex-Texan]

McClintock is having fun playing Ross Perot. Meanwhile Bustamonte is planning to celebrate his victory by letting in even more illegals. Sad, but true.

[FairOpinion]

The article reports Arnold's stand on the issues incorrectly, most likely deliberately.

[EternalVigilance]

No need for anyone to distort Schwarzenegger's views.

They are already 'distorted' all by themselves; i.e. 'liberal'.

[So Cal Rocket]

Which ones are incorrect?

[curmudgeonII]

As a non-Californian my thughts on the race run as follows: The choice for a conservative are either to vote for Arnold, who leaves something to be desired as a Conservative, or to vote for McClintock and get a moral victory but a political loss. [Seems to be a repeat of Bob Taft-Ike back in the 1952 GOP primatries.]

Bump

I keep reading about it but I haven't had any party leaders call suggesting it,” McClintock said.

I hate liars and career politicians... period. I don't care if they have an R in front of their name or not.

But you love liberal celebrities with no political experience and a platform that closely resembles Bill Clinton's. Gotcha.

[Moosefart]

No...I didnt say that. I said I hate liars and career politicians... period

McClintock: Schwarzenegger Has No Qualifications

So what do you have to do to qualify to be a politician, run your own criminal enterprise and have at least one RICO conviction?

[EternalVigilance]

Well, you have no proof at all that Tom has received calls from party officials or leaders urging him to get out. He is not lying. You saying he is is despicable.

And as for the 'career politician' bit, that is nothing but cheap demagoguery.

Our political system today is so complex, and the political battles so intense and all-encompassing, that full-time devotion of one's time and energies to it is mandatory if one is to be anything more than a marginal influence.

Tom McClintock is far and away the superior candidate for this job on every level.

[A CA Guy]

Two big issues:

#1 Arnold is electable.
#2 McDreamer is not and never has been.

"Tom McClintock is far and away the superior candidate for this job on every level"

Not every level, there is that little issue where he **can't get many people to vote for him**. That would be a slight negative in most people's column!

[EternalVigilance]

#1 Arnold is electable.
#2 McDreamer is not and never has been.

That's SENATOR McClintock.

Tell me again what office Arnold has held previously?

Your statement is false on the face of it.

[A CA Guy]

He's been a business man for years and went from nothing to wealthy with struggle and determination.

Sounds like a leader with qualifications to me.

[EternalVigilance]

Ah, but the campaign is just getting started.

Every election has its own timeline--and this one is as compressed as any we are likely to see.

[DodgeRam]

McClintock does not want to drill off Cali coast? Rush is gonna be disappointed with that. That was one of his red flags that he mentioned that worried him about A.S.

[EternalVigilance]

Sounds like a leader with qualifications to me.

You have very low standards.
