Duh! Because he's a conservative!

Well Duh!....... if he's a conservative, one that's been in politics all his adult life in CA, then why is it that the CA Conservatives reject him at such a high rate..... 70% or so?.. You want to try that one on? What is it that they know about McClintock that keeps them on the sidelines when it comes to supporting him?

Currently, Bustamante is the favorite among Democratic voters (49%); Republicans prefer Schwarzenegger (47%) to McClintock (24%); and independents are more evenly divided between Bustamante with 24 percent and Schwarzenegger with 21 percent, while 12 percent support McClintock. Nearly half of Latinos support Bustamante (49%). Among white voters 28 percent would vote for Schwarzenegger and 25 percent for Bustamante; 15 percent support McClintock. Bustamante’s support is highest among liberals (50%), Schwarzenegger’s is highest among conservatives (42%), and moderates are divided between Bustamante (24%) and Schwarzenegger (25%). Although McClintock gets his highest support from conservatives, they favor Schwarzenegger even more (29% to 42%).

skeletons in the closet...
i dunno what kind...
girls from the gambling consortium?

who knows?
Maybe we just don't like him because of how he comes off.
Smug, arrogant, smartassed and mouthy.

For a guy who has been in state political life so long... he really isn't liked very well... statewide. I have noticed that many of his most vocal supporters, here on FreeRepublic, are OUT-of-staters of the keyesnian or brigadiers genre.
