I don't think we have enough data yet to make that determination. RNC should be commissioning some independent polls - but I don't think they want to give us a choice. We are supposed to buy in to the "they know what's best for us" philosophy.

I agree with you on that... but it is getting very close the wire... Personally I would really like to see Tom win this.. but I am also a realist...and so far I don't see enough folks waving his banner... It is getting close to crunch time.. and the McClintock folks need to start rallying or I might have to go with 2nd choice Arnold... for now I would really like to see Tom's numbers keep going up....

Voters, not worried that he may split the vote, stand by principles rather than desire to win.
CORONA DEL MAR – Tom McClintock found a roomful of true believers at the Bahia Corinthian Yacht Club on Saturday – voters so dedicated to the causes of the Republican recall candidate that they brush aside concerns that he'll split the vote with fellow Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger and allow Democrat Cruz Bustamante to win.
"I don't know how you can be a social liberal and a fiscal conservative," said Laguna Niguel civil engineer Larry Wlezien, complaining that more social programs mean more taxes. "They're mutually exclusive. To me, Schwarzenegger is the spoiler. He's the one who's going to split the vote."
McClintock, a longtime state legislator from Thousand Oaks, has paid the cost for standing by his beliefs before, such as when he and a handful of others opposed the budgets of then-Gov. Pete Wilson, a fellow Republican, in the 1990s - and saw the leadership appointments and campaign assistance from GOP chiefs evaporate.

I disagree.. I think the RNC/President Bush is correct in taking a "Let's wait and see attitude"... giving Tom time to make his case to the people....
We are supposed to buy in to the "they know what's best for us" philosophy.
.. I hope you really don't believe that rhetoric...
