The truth of the matter is they have principles and fundamental beliefs and believe that elections should be about advancing ideas, not winning for its own sake. I doubt you or any Arnold supporter could articulate what Arnold plans to do if gets into office.
Of course, all of this may be moot at this point if the 9th Circuit travesty is allowed to stand. Sigh..
With all due respect, ambrose, elections are about choosing individuals to represent the people of a given locality, district, county, state or nation. Except when we vote on initiatives rather than who should win a particular elective office, we do not elect ideas, we elect people. Each of us votes for a person who we believe comes closest to representing our point of view. If a majority of an electorate votes for the same person, he or she can carry those ideas into office and attempt to advance them via legislative or executive action. So, only in that indirect sense are elections about advancing ideas. Even in that sense, ideas cannot be advanced if the person espousing them does not win.

It just seems crystal clear to me that voting on principle for McClintock results in Cruz as the next Gov.
So I guess I would just be curious to know from the McClintock supporters:
If McClintock dropped out, would McClintock supporters get behind Schwarzenegger ??
