Why is Arnold considered the flag-bearer for the GOP?

I mean, he is pro-gun control...

he will not rule out tax increases...

his advisors are Democrats...

he can't remember giving interviews, yet then later states that the interview was for a movie promotion (so which is it Arnold, and do you lie this often?)...

he lobbied for a before-and-after school daycare bill that was passed at an estimated pricetag of $500 Million per year.

I really wonder how those who "Know Tom is the right guy but I'll vote for Arnold instead because a vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamante" Republicans are gonna feel if the final results show:

Bustamante 30%
McClintock: 28%
Arnold: 20%
Other: 22%

Just wondering.

I honestly think the media is very afraid of the prospect of Governor McClintock. They do not want to admit that he is gaining serious ground while Arnold and his enormous free advertising media blitz have resulted in nothing but negative poll slippage.

Why have there been no polls reported in the last two weeks (post-Simon dropping out?

Why did the media bury the "McClintock Wins First Debate" story in the late Friday edition of the news? Why no talk about this energy contract solution.

The Lefties are scared of McClintock.

Vote your principles and McClintock can win this election.

Or you can vote for Arnold and:

(a) Elect Bustamante in the process (Arnold is the spoiler in this election!)

or

(b) End up with a RINO who will be nothing more than a puppet for his Leftist advisors, the policies of which will bury California and, in so doing, blur the critical distinction between Democrat vs. Republican in so many voters' minds.

Last Thursday F.Warren Hellman gave $50,000 to support Grey Davis. Hellman is on Arnolds A team. With friends like that Arnolds campaign makes Simons mistakes look minute...

Way to go Bryan! Good, listing of good arguments are something our opposition just has none of.

I'd like to be pinged if any S-S answers you sans their standard bloviations. Don't hold your breath, 'cause I'm not.

Did you notice how quickly the first 2 posted, even before I could put up my pings at number 4? Do you think they read any of it?

They help make it ever so obvious that McClintock is right!

More to the point, Arnold will do exactly what Bustamante will do only slower.
There is something about a lingering death that doesn't appeal to me.

Well said, well said. And .. I couldn't agree more.

And .. I have this added info regarding Arnold's "after school plan":

"He lobbied for a before-and-after school daycare bill that was passed at an estimated pricetag of $500 Million per year"

And .. Arnold TOOK SPECIAL INTEREST MONEY TO SUPPORT THE REFERENDUM. Sooooo .. he says he won't take special interest money .. but he did before .. how do we know he won't do it again ..??

And .. THE TAXPAYERS OF CALIFORNIA GET TO PAY THE 500 MILLION TO FUND THIS PROGRAM .. ALL THE WHILE OUR DEFICIT INCREASES.

Whoa, take it easy. For some reason I've gotten like 5 posts directed my way about why I shouldn't support Schwarzenegger. Let's get a few things straight here:

1) I don't even live in California, so I won't be voting for anyone.

2) I'll be happy if either Arnold or McClintock is elected over Bustamante.

3) I never said anything about Schwarzenegger in my post. I only said McClintock is going to finish third, unless something cataclysmic happens. Candidates don't just pick up 25-30 percentage points for no particular reason when there are two other candidates sucking up the vast majority of votes.

You've all given me many good reasons why I should vote for McClintock. I don't need any convincing. But give me a reason why McClintock should all of a sudden pick up a massive amount of votes almost literally overnight?

OK, you've got me confused here. How can you know that McClintock is gaining serious ground if no polls have been released lately and the media is hiding the news?
