Yeah, but McClintock is moving upwards and Arnie moved downwards from the previous poll. "Fat Clemenza" stayed at 29%.

both Field and SurveyUSA are showing the same trends... slight slippage for the "yes on recall" vote, and a small post-debate surge for McClintock.

You really don't understand polls very well, or their dynamics... it is unlikely that McClintocks numbers will improve very much more -- there is no 23% swing waiting in the wings.

It is clear as day to me that a vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamante.

The demoncraps will try to manufacture more momentum for McClintock and the weak minded who label themselves "conservative" and don't really understand how politics works will be swayed, just as they were by Perot in 1992.

I live in Chile, and tomorrow is the anniversary of the 11 Sept. coup of 1973 that ousted the Communist Allende.

Now Allende WON the presidency, with 30 something percent of the votes, with the Christian Democrat Allesandri coming in second with twenty something. The spoiler was another middle of the road or even center-right candidate called Tomic what siphoned off enough votes from the other middle of the road slightly left Allesandri, to give the vote to the radical Allende, who most of Chile DID NOT WANT. The rest is tragic history: Allende governed (poorly) for several years and the Left was literally preparing its OWN coup to install a true Castro style Communist dictatorship.

I guess the Tomic voters voted their conscience and felt good after their vote. Thats what counts, right???
