Don't even go there.
I didn't. It got there on its own.
From the get go political startigists knew that Schwarzenegger wouldn't appeal to the 10% of the electorate on the far, conservative right. They gambled that Schwarzenegger could pull enough from the center/swing to overcome that 10% disadvantage.
Schwarzenegger may well do that but at the present he isn't. That 10% will not change even if McClintock withdraws.
