I trust someone has made both Arnold and McClintock how important it is that from the beginning to the end of tonight's debate all fire must be directed at the enemy not an ally. If anything they should be praising each other for holding what is important to California ahead of what is important to them personally or the party for that matter. California needs leadership that will take them back from the track to bankruptcy. In the next few days, one will have to call on their people to get behind the other to insure that the job gets done. The proper call on that should be evident in the next few days.

I honestly doubt anyone needs to tell Arnold. He's been extraordinarily gracious to McC.

McC's been a petty little mosquito.

I would guess, if I had to, that S is prepared to swat him if he pops off, or to out-gracious him.

What McC will do — since he is only "principled" in theory — is any psychologist's guess.

I would be looking for Arnold to make a statement to the effect, that 'I hope I win, so I can look forward to workng with Tom as Comptroller....'
