Worth taking another peek at for a discussion of all that McClintock integrity.

A couple of key decisions over the next 24 hours are either going to make or break McC's political career. Let's hope he makes the right choice and is welcomed back into the fold.

Yeah, because posing butt naked for a homosexual photographer just screams integrity.
To: Snerfling
He's not worth welcoming back. There was a time a couple of weeks ago when he could have done that, but his true colors have shown all too well.

Well...I'd take an exhibitionist over a liar. Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

LOL - If I looked like him back then, I'd have gone out of my way to have everybody look at me.

"Before the California recall race got under way gubernatorial candidate Tom McClintock made a private pledge to step aside if his campaign threatened to spoil Republican chances to take power in Sacramento. " === Do "principled conservatives" usually break their pledges?
To: kattracks
Thanks for the FYI :-)
I saw Issa on Cavuto yesterday and he stated this precisely... McClintock promised he wouldn't let himself become a spoiler in the race.
Issa also said that there are TWO FISCAL CONSERVATIVES in this recall, Schwarzenegger and McClintock.

This is just one more to add to the list of why McC is not a "principled" conservative. The list keeps growing by the day!

Oh man...this is quite the contradiction to his statements to Hannity that he would NOT drop out even if he were still behind and his staying in would hand the governorship to Busty.
I sense another major flame war a-brewin'

The "right time" was Sept 8th, when people were starting to send in their absentee ballots.
And he is still in the race, when it's way PAST time.
And is running those ridiculous ads, claiming he can win.
Pathetic.

How do you know, that he is not staying in long enough, to give the illusion of a split pubbie ticket, so that the Dems, seeing Arnold with a huge lead (Over 15 points) dont start pushing the 'No to Recall' angle.
In a sense both tickets are currently split, McClintock needs to hang around until about 5 days out, (Friday Before the election) then Get out very publicly.

With all the endorsements Arnold is picking up, if McClintock doesn't get out and causes Arnold to lose a close race, he'll be persona non grata in Republican circles...
I think he's moving in that direction already. And for what? Principle, you say? He can keep his principles, I'd prefer not to have Davis or Bustamante continue to destroy California.

That was my point exactly. Tom only cares about Tom, never mind promises, decency, party, the wellbeing of CA, etc.
To: hobbes1
That presumes that he has any sense whatsoever and that this is part of a coherent plan.
I don't think he is that smart or that principled based on the things he has said and done in this campaign, as well as by the palpable frustration you are seeing within the party.
