I think both sides what what's best for the state. The McClintock die-hards see themselves as this state's last chance of getting a real conservative in there. The other side sees Schwarzenegger as a stepping stone. With Arnold's help, McClintock may yet be governor or a US Senator. Arnold is not totally down-side. He will do some things we like and some things we don't.
Well, I'm seeing something different, and that is Arnie taking charge and addressing some serious issue, unafraid of upon whose toes he steps. I see him making change that a normal politician couldn't. I see a potential ground swell of change, many festering issues drained, many compromises made, many hard steps taken and real and genuine progress made. Uniting across party lines for the common good, with respect and tolerance. I see it as an opportunity too good to miss. Some of the compromises might not be what rather, but that is the nature of compromise.
Hey, D1, why do I waste my time saying this, only to have evidence demanded of me?
With Arnold's help, McClintock may yet be governor or a US Senator.I'm curious. Why would Arnold support Tom for either office? Let's say Arnold wins the governorship because McClintock offers a gracious concession and his remaining support sweeps Arnold in. Given the current appointments on his own team, why wouldn't Arnold simply endorse someone more like himself for the Senate or for Governor in the future?
