If McClintock and Arnold debate, Arnold will be beaten like a stray mutt. No comparison in knowledge of the issues, none.

You'd be better off sticking with the star quality thing and the muzzle.

Leadership skills are far more valuable than "knowledge of the issues". Administrators and clerks can provide all the detailed knowledge you need but that doesn't make them leaders.

Schwarznegger dwarfs McClintock in proven leadership skills.

It's the values that count, and the ability to drive those values into the system from the top down.

Being a competent bureaucrat is not a positive reason to elect a politician.

Yep. McClintock is an experienced California professional politician. He knows about cutting deals with the Democrats in power. He's been doing it for years. Look how much good he's done in his years in the state legislature. Yep, he's the one to cut the deal with Busty so that the dims can stay in power. He'll even get some money from the mob, funneled through the indian gambling halls. He's a REAL politican. Gimme more of that.

If Bustamonte wins this election, the California conservatives deserve what they get. Yes Arnold is a liberal, a traditional liberal, but at least he's not a Socialist. Sometimes you have to take what you can get, and if you don't, you deserve the booby prize.

And if my bubbie had a schmekel she'd be my zadie.

At the debate where they are all going to be at, I think Tom will go after Arnold instead of Cruz and Arnold will turn that around on McSpoiler.
