McClintock occupies a safe State Senate seat and is popular in his district

Listening to Larry Elder on the way home. He opined that eventually term limits will smack Tom McClintock in the rear. Then he'll have to get a real job.

Tom's name will rightly be mud by then. The CA state GOP will never back him and almost all Republicans in CA have very poor feelings towards him right now. I personally would never vote for him.

Every politician on the State level is term-limited. That's a good thing. I listen to Larry Elder too.

It has been my experience on these threads that most of the people who are bad-mouthing Tom McClintock are:
1. Not Californians, or
2. Not knowlegable about McClintock's constituents
3. Do not understand or know about his positions on the issues, or
4. Are not conservative Republicans or Libertarians (or as Larry Elder calls them, "Republitarians").

Tom McClintock is on the right side of virtually every issue of importance to mainstream conservatives. The same cannot be said of the other major candidates to replace the Governor.
