This has already been posted and as usual led to the typical McClintock vs. Schwarzenegger diatribe from our mathematically "challenged" compatriots.

Let's see in the poll on this web-site Arnold and Tom both get around 50%. I know this isn't exactly correct and that Tom is leading Arnold but that's close enough. Assume that percentage is exactly the number of conservative votes Arnold is getting. That reduces Arnold's percentage of the votes to 13% if he drops out and that will go to Tom. That'll put Tom at 27%, which is around what Arnold now has. Which by the way, on the surface, looks like a good thing. Question: What happens to the other 13%--who do they vote for?

You're using Math Won - oh - Won.

When in doubt, smear the candidate or his supporters! I'm glad to see that posters on a conservative web site despise conservativism so! *Heavy sarcasm* The other 13% could just not show up. Supporters of Busta are few and far between, as most Democrats realize he is far worse than Davis. That's just one example of what could happen. There are many.

What on earth are you talking about? We are consultants and pollsters. See our posts over the last 10 days. Your numbers are completely false. The current tally is Arnold-Cruz neck and neck around 33% and McClintock at 12% (and falling due to Indian Casino issue). McClintock can only spoil. He knows this. It is clearly what he wants. He told Burton as much. HE wants Cruz. The only thing we can do is vote "NO" on recall to save this state from its worst nightmare.
