He is *NOT* a Republican, since in order to belong to a party you need to become part of a team, and McClintock is *NOT* a team player.

A quick review for the more dimwitted among us:

1. McClintock has served the CA GOP for 20 years, while Arnold is a newcomer to the scene.
2. McClintock was in this race first, while Arnold joined late in the game.
3. McClintock's views reflect the GOP platform (remember that old thing?), while Arnold's most assuredly do not.

Your third argument is fine, but your others are silly:

McClintock has served the CA GOP for 20 years, while Arnold is a newcomer to the scene.

Arnold has been a professed Republican for decades. No, he has not been an elected politician, but he has expressed his preference in circumstances when it would have been far easier to claim to be a Democrat or not to say anything. He hasn't been an elected official or "served" like McClintock, but don't make it sound like he joined the GOP last week.

McClintock was in this race first, while Arnold joined late in the game.

This isn't fair either. It was only a couple of days. It's not like Arnold was pulling a Wesley Clark.
