Have you ever been to Ventura County? If not, then don't tell us about McClintock's political career being over.

I've been to Ventura County, lotsa times. Does that mean I can opine about McClintock's political future?

The actual fact is he hasn't won an election, beyond his home districts in Ventura County (but he has tried three times, now).

A fine man. Intelligent, but inflexible. Not a strong fundraiser. Said to not be a team player.

If he comes out of this as something of a team player, in the end he should have a good future. He will have obtained a lotta unpaid exposure, which is good.

It gives him name recognition, like Arnold had going in. Might look forward to Controller, or Lt. Governor. Maybe even Governor.

I've been to VC. He might be able to become dogcatcher there, but he is sinking himself statewide.
