Richard Riordan is an honest man, a good administrator, and as conservative a person who could get elected in California.

[buwaya]

No the one where actual political registration switches from 35/45 to 45/35.

[capitan_refugio]

Just a friendly reminder to keep it civil.

[BibChr]

Addressed to wrong guy.

Chamberlain took the easy path of appeasement with Hitler, and it cost plenty--ask the Poles.

There are countless other examples, but you get the picture.

You're comparing voting for Arnold to appeasing Hitler?

[BOOTSTICK]

Clearly it's time for Tom to bow out. I don't know of anyone who voted for Peroit in 92, that does'nt regret it.

Only a tiny % of voters go to the polls with Abortion being their main concern. The Abortion agrument is a classic red herring.

[Bay Minette Redneck]

I watched the debate and if Cali does'nt want this feller, just send to Bama and we'll take'm. Remember, we're gonna be need'in a new gov. here before too long!

[rodeo-mamma]

Voting for Arnold will NOT require me to hold MY nose, in fact, it is my intention to keep breathing.

And I also will add, that Arnold holds plenty of attention for the eyes and ears as well. He is very charasmatic and charming in addition to being very good looking.

Yes, on election day, my senses will be full functioning!

[MistrX]

If he doesn't pull out, he might as well move to France because his political career will be over.

[rodeo-mamma]

I know you mean well, but you are mistaken.

The Founding Fathers weren't stubborn asses, rather they were enlightened brave men. They understood the true nature of what they were fighting. And as such they were both inspired AND inspiring.

It behooves me to see how McClintock, measures up to that description. He might have all the right words, but I see a little deficit of spirit.

McClintock might be a nice man, but I see something missing. You've gotta have more then the words, you've got to have the spirit, and Arnold has both.

[EternalVigilance]

You've gotta have more then the words, you've got to have the spirit, and Arnold has both.

Then why is he so far left on so many fundamental issues??

I think some of you are just starting to see whatever you want to see. You're projecting.

[Joy Angela]

Time to wake up, McClinton-tock

You ain't gonna win.

California will not elect you to office,
the only GOP candidate who has a chance
of winning in this state is Arnold.

Now go tell Hillary, you've snapped out of
your hypnosis, and you're not gonna be the stooge-man
to help her HOLD on to power in California for
the 2004 Presidential Election!

"My opponents say I'm the Ross Perot of this campaign, possibly siphoning off enough votes to hand the election to Democrats," he says, settling onto a shady park bench for an interview. "I say, 'Wait a minute.... Ross Perot was an idle millionaire, with no public-policy experience says, referring to muscleman/millionaire Arnold who one day on a whim entered the presidential race.' That sounds like another candidate in this race ... not me," he Schwarzenegger.

Let me get this straight...TM believes that only career politicians should have the right to lead? And what's this about "idle millionaires." How did Ross Perot make his money? How did Arnold make his money. DAMN...HARD...HONEST WORK, that's how. The more I read about this guy, the more I dislike him.

[Hildy]

Ok then, I'd rather have a Republican pro-choice Governor who will not raise my taxes than a Democratic pro-choice Governor who will. I don't know how much simpler I can make this.

[Jorge]

If McClintock is not an effective coalition builder and affable man, he will never succeed as governor, if elected, and will never be elected.

The exact qualities that are alienating him from the GOP.

[Flashman_at_the_charge]

I’ll agree that Arnold is very attractive to the ladies but having said that we’re not holding auditions for a Hollywood blockbuster.
