You have a strange definition of "greatness of spirit."
A man "great in spirit" does not bend to political fashion and expediency when great principles are at stake.

I don't get it. Are you saying that it is better for a Dem to win?
Than for a Republican to bend on any principle?

I don't believe for one minute that all McClintock supporters won't bend a single conservative principle for political expediency.

McClintock is not the messiah.

IMHO those who are willing to throw the entire election to the Dems rather than vote for Arnold are hypocrites to their professed conservative principles.

It appears that many of Arnold's supporters would readily engage in the wholesale abandonment of conservative principles for the sake of perceived political expediency.

The problem is that it is not a single principle, that is getting bent, but every single social issue.
