McClintock decided to commit political suicide and is following his plan for this unwaveringly and meticulously.
" Pleas for Mr. McClintock to quit the contest have come from a variety of sources — the White House, working through surrogates in California; leading elected Republicans in the state; and the Schwarzenegger campaign. Mr. McClintock has stood fast.
"He wouldn't respond to pressure, even from the White House," said Mr. Spillane, who is not working for any gubernatorial campaign. "It's not in his nature. He's a maverick."
Arnold faces GOP convention
Yeah. "Maverick." Perfect model for a man leading a predominantly Democratic state with houses held by 'rats.
Beautiful.
And this "suicide" thing. Makes me think of those homicide bombers. I always think, "Look, if you want to blow yourself up, find some nice desolate place in the desert to do it."
But McC's self-immolation threatens to take the state with him.
