If you think about, what would happen if McClintock dissappeared today? The Dem smear machine would open fire against Arnold with no fear that Tom would take his place as the GOP candidate. Tom is acting as a shield for Arnold and taking heat from some in his own party. I admire him for that. I expect he will throw support to Arnold at the last moment when a "late hit" on Arnold will be seen by CA voters as just more of Davis's dirty politics. Or McClintock will just let those of his supporters who are realists switch their votes to Swartzenegger on their own.

The real problem is that if enough Republicans are afraid that Bustamonte will win then they will vote "NO" on the recall. We could end up with Davis retained as Gov and have a GOP winner of the non-election.

interesting points... very Poincarean. ;)

The real problem is that McX couldn't win if he was the only one running!
