Absentee balloting continues.

Tom McClintock continues to lock up votes.

If Tom McClintock truly stands at 18% in the polls, he stands to recieve between 7 and 9% by absentee ballot before 70% of the voters go to the polls on October 7th.  On election day, even if he withdraws a couple of days before the election, he will recieve between 2 and 4% more of the vote.

Tom may by siphoning off as much as 10 to 12% of the vote, even if he eventually withdraws from the race.  Tom as said that he won't withdraw.

Each day that goes by, tens of thousands of more votes are cast by mail.

Can anyone beat Cruz Bustamante.  We don't know for sure.  Polls have been all over the place.

I don't think they want us here, D1, I think they're still trying to convince themselves. The should have a consenus in a few weeks.

The voters in California are certainly free to vote as they please, but the Republicans are almost certainly guaranteeing a Bustamante win.

Demands that the Republican who has the most support to withdraw fail the laugh test.

The Democrat strategy of divide and conquer is going to prevail.

If Arnold calls McClintock a decent man and is not calling McClintock to step down, why can't Arnold supporters follow Arnold's example and praise him while praising your own candidate? All the heat may be counterproductive to your goals and only serve to incite more folks to vote their conscience earlier than they ordinarily would.

What is the point of all the negativity???

[Obligatory sheesh.]

Your calandar should read out until March unless I'm very much mistaken...
