I have listened to Savage on several occasions and although he comes off pretty rough, he has many good points. He does have a pretty large audience.

I am not from California, so I can't vote there, obviously, but I would have been inclined to support Arnold just on his ability to win. However, it looks to me like McClintock is making a good run for it.

Here's a tinfoil hat theory:

What if Arnold is only there to dilute the Republicans, hence pretty much handing a victory to Bustamente? McClintock would win for sure if Peter Uberoff (sp?) and Arnold dropped out.

How do you come to that conclusion? For the 1001 time. Arnold can win because of crossover Dem and independent votes. He can get people to actually get off their fat asses and vote. McClintock can't. And he won't. Let him keep talking, that's ok...talk about the illegal situation, the workmen's comp, etc. But he'd better drop out a few weeks before the election. If he doesn't, and Cruz wins because of a split vote, his career in Republican politics is through here in California.

Tinfoil? perhaps. Realistic? yes. Many people think that Arnold is a Republican, and when you start pointing out things about him, they then turn into this "well Arnold is not as bad of a liberal as Bustamante or Davis" and then I scratch my head and wonder if they realize what they just said.
