One minor problem...political candidates do not normally bow out of the race on behalf of others in their party if the others are losing to them by a substantial margin...not even if they're actors running their first political campaign. McClintock is well behind both Schwarzenegger and Bustamante in all polls. The only question is whether Arnold or Cruz is the leader. Any poll assuming as a condition that Schwarzenegger quits on behalf of McClintock is (for now, and most likely for the duration of the campaign) not dealing with political reality. Peter Robinson is an old political pro and ought to know better than this. And frankly, a lot of amateur political consultants here on FR ought to know better.

In short, you don't want to the poll to be true either?
