"Despite all that, I lost by less than 1 percent of the vote."

Sadly, a lot of football teams, etc., lose by 1 point. It's still a loss. What will you say October 8 when a jubilant and even more empowered Davis, or Bustamante wins?

I like Tom McClintock very much. He is a fine looking intelligent honorable man who has served our State and his constituents superbly. I pray for him as he is facing such cry for him to drop out of the race. It is not a comfortable situation for a man of intergrity.

Arnold today on the Sean Hannity Town Hall Meeting said he will offer his hand in friendship and a place for Tom on his team.

"As a child, he came home from school to find his mother crying over an unexpectedly high tax bill. The moment has lived in his imagination ever since that government takes too much from citizens and delivers too little."

A great ad can be made from his vivid imagery. I remember my Dad spending hours, days, in high tension in completing our families tax returns, as he was self-employed with all of the boxes of receipts, etc. I remember a few years driving with him to the local Post Office to drop off the tax shakedown forms close to the midnight hour.

What relief when it was over, we got our Dad back, but with much less of his hard earned income to share with his large family.

"Tom made a promise to me that he, in fact, wouldn't be a spoiler," Mr. Issa said. "So the pressure is on Tom to decide whether that has become the reality, that he might be becoming a spoiler."

Will you keep your promise Tom?

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

"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.
