"But you're allowing yourself to get sucked into using the insults of the left on conservatives."

I have not insulted conservatives. I am an engineer. I think I have some sense of reality:) A candidate must have some amount of cross-over votes to get elected state-wide here. I have said McC has the tech knowledge to help Arnold in getting us out of bankruptcy. About 20% of the voters in this state are wackos and kooks. About 35% are GOP. Another 40% are RATS. You need to tear off just enough of those votes to get elected. A solid conservative in this area doesn't relate to all of the land mass this state happens to have. We actually should divide this state into 2!

Dividing the state in two isn't a bad idea--maybe we could get 2 Republican Senators to balance out the 2 whackjobs you've got now. ;-)

But the fact is that McClintock got more crossover votes last year than people realize. There are still the same types out there that we once called 'Reagan Democrats', and alot of Independents are of similiar mind.

But the AS candidacy is skewing everything. If it wasn't for Arnold, the broad, policy-based offensive that has been run by Tom would have a clear shot at defeating the Davis machine...tapping into the disgust with what the left has done to California.
