Recall (yes)...53%
Bustamante.....28% Schwarzenegger.26% MadClintock....14%
For comparison (Field Poll August 18) Bustamante.....25% Schwarzenegger.22% MadClintock.....9% Simon...........8% Ueberroth.......5% Huffington......2%
Why do you lie like that? Do you get pleasure out of such things?
Arnold has said on multiple occasions that he opposes school vouchers.
So.... a few weeks later he's talking to someone about it?
I want a Governor who knows something about the issues, and doesn't run to someone else everytime he has to go to the bathroom.
Re: vouchers... he already blew this one... if he flip- flops to the right side of the argument, it will expose him as waffling on issues that are critical to the people and show the state just how empty the suit is.

Me learn a little? You were the one caught making outrageous assertions that were easily shown to be clueless. LOL
If you don't like being embarassed, then check your facts before chucking your mud.
This a forum with thousands of members in California -- the clear majority of whom support McClintock (according to the running poll). The race is within the margin of error.
Attacking the people you need to convert is suicidal.
Did wonders for Bush in New York...
If arnold doesn't win it's because he doesn't deserve to win, and because, thank goodness not all republicans are brain-dead lapdogs who have no principles. All arnold bootlickers should do everyone in CA a favor and join the leftist marxists where you belong. Leftist GOP sellouts really are revolting!
This a forum with thousands of members in California -- the clear majority of whom support McClintock (according to the running poll).From http://www.freerepublic.com/perl/poll?poll=29:
Not quite a "clear majority."Question ...
Now that we're coming down to the final two weeks of campaigning/debating (barring Democrat obstructionism), who do you now support for Governor of California?
McClintock
264 votes - 49%
Schwarzenegger
240 votes - 45%
Other
9 votes - 1%
Undecided
19 votes - 3%
532 votes total
And, of course, FR is the home of primarily hard core conservative activists, where support for Tom OUGHT TO BE close to one hundred percent.If McClintock can only capture HALF his "base" - the committed conservatives (which at best represents a third of the electorate here) - no wonder that he is locked into the 15% range statewide:
"The latest Public Policy Institute poll showed
28 percent of voters favoring Bustamante to replace Davis and
26 percent supporting Schwarzenegger.McClintock was third at 14 percent.
The poll, conducted over the nine-day period ending Sept. 17, had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points." - link
OK, here's the standard set of questions:
1. Are you currently living in Calif and able to vote in the upcoming recall election?
2. What part of Calif do you live in?
3. Who is your US rep and state assembly/senate reps?
If you even know where N. Ranch or Hidden Valley is, or know the fastest route over the hill to Malibu, I'll send you $5 via PayPal. [Note to lurkers: these questions are like asking a NYC native where Macy's is located.]
In effect, Arnold bought his degree based on fame.
He got his elementary education via the Weider school of merchandising... in my book, he's being dishonest with the people of this state.... and does not have the character to be Governor.

The only one ducking or being dishonest here is you. After I shot to bits your wild smears about Arnold not reading Milton Friedman's book or caring about his theories, you didn't acknowledge your gaffs and just changed gears to throw more ill-informed mud at his college degree.
If you want to be embarrassed again, so be it.
Read those articles carefully... you'll see he came here speaking no English, yet made his fortune and then admirably worked toward a college education earning 3 years worth of degree credits taking courses in the 70's at Santa Monica College and UCLA.
He then completed the last year's worth of credits taking correspondence courses at University of Wisconsin and going to campus there for the exams. He only tested out of and received credit for a couple of physical fitness classes and film production. He finished the remaining University requirements for the degree and received it in 1980. BTW, folks who don't have parents cosseting them through college often need to complete a degree over several years in this manner.
The ONLY degrees that he received without actually do the traditional work for them are the Honorary Doctorates, which he has never presented as otherwise.
EXACTLY. I am a political consultant. I am told internal Arnold AND Cruz polls show McClintock polling around 10-11%. And our poll of self-named, likely voting "Conservatives" show that McClintock has LOST 4 POINTS among this group because of the Indian Mafia Scandal. Tom has peaked and is sinking fast. But because all internal polls show Arnold and Cruz NECK AND NECK, McClintock can only be a spoiler.
Truly a sad state of affairs for the GOP if Tom stays in this thing. Otherwise pools show Arnold wins by 10-16 pts (the higher figure anticipating a large undecided swing to Arnold once he is the sole GOP candidate).
