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. "No one fought harder against Pete Wilson and his $8 billion in tax increases than Tom McClintock," said Ferguson. "And all of us who stood with Tom paid the price. We became pariahs."

And who is the puppetmaster for Arnold? Oh yeah, PETE WILSON!!

All you Arnie-bots tell me again how McClintock will be supported for U.S. Senator if he just steps down now.

The CA GOP is about to shott itself in the foot again, NOT THE VOTERS.

"All you Arnie-bots tell me again how McClintock will be supported for U.S. Senator if he just steps down now."

He dosn't need to be Governor to run all the initiatives and referendums he says he will need to do as Governor to get things straightened out.

So-lets see just what he gets accomplished, then let him come back and ask us again.

But if he plays out being Perot - I don't think anything can save him. A shame really, but he will bring it on himself.
