From what was offered to me, McClintock would become a State Controller by proxy - heading up a blue ribbon committee - overseeing the audit of the state's budget and financial matters.
From my sources, it seems that Tom McClintock would remain as the State Senator for District 19 while he was directing this committee.
The Arnold Administration would want him to find the waste, complete the audit and offered solutions to fix the problems for California.
No report on whether the State Senator has been offered this deal, or would agree to such a deal, from the McClintock Campaign Headquarters.
I'm hearing from a 'solid source' that State Senator Tom McClintock has been offered a deal by the Arnold Schwarzenegger camp.

McNugget had best hurry up and accept Schwarzenegger's offer, for his poll numbers are going down faster than a Tijuana prostitute when the fleet's in town. See today's Knowledge Networks poll at http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/980761/posts. Looks like his pizza and salad fund raiser fiasco was the last straw for thinking California voters - he could again be Mister Four Percent before this is over.
Unless he wants to return to wherever losing political candidates go when they're not spending their constituent's money (and a few of his looney tune boosters back to whatever bunker they came from), McNugget and his supporters should get on the winning team, shut their mouths, and let the adults run things.
8/24/03: McClintock as insurance against the "late hit"
8/26/03: Send me (whoever's ahead) to Sacramento to rebuild Republican presence
9/4/03: Schwarzenegger -- GOP coalition builder or flash in the pan?
9/6/03: Trailer "takes one for the team"
We appear to be at the crossroads. I expect the drama to play out over the weekend for the benefit of the CA GOP convention. By Monday, the essence of this thread will come true (although the roles may be different in the final scene). Schwarzenegger will be the lead candidate, McClintock will be his "second," but McClintock will not formally drop out of the race until the final days. Together, they will defeat the Democrats and retake Sacramento, and McClintock will be a prominent player in Schwarzenegger's administration, his go-to guy in the Senate, and his annointed candidate for the US Senate in 2004.

looks like the AR-nold camp has been lurking my posts.
Nailed it a week ago.
