Tam, stick with me here. The Clinton's are campaigning with Davis alone because they want the recall defeated and its terrible rebellion against tax-and-spend policies discredited. But even you can admit that they are not, and I repeat, ARE NOT appearing with Bustamante. That has been the point a couple posts now.

The Clintons are seriously stumping for the DNC in California. Do you think the Clintons are happy to see McClintock staying in the race and splitting the GOP vote, yes or no?

No. They are unhappy because they want this to be (R)nold vs all of them.

They can pulverize your guy. Look what Arriana was able to reduce him to, and she is nobody. Clinton would proceed if it didn't risk getting a rock ribbed Conservative elected who could fix the problems. I think they might just go ahead and smash him in their hydralic press of stories about his stupid past anyways, thinking Tom can't make up the difference, but the Clintons are uneasy about releasing the hounds. That should please you.

There is also the fact that it is conservatives who provide the safety factor on the 'recall' first portion of this.

I'm hearing more and more influential people I know in CA say they will just vote 'no' on recall. They are that put off by Schwarzenegger's politics and his supporter's tactics. Scares the hell out of em, frankly.

The Clintons want California to stay under the DNC... that is why they are supporting Davis against the recall. If Davis' numbers looked worse or Cruz's looked better against Arnold, they would be campaigning for Cruz.

They would NOT want Tom to drop out because that leaves almost all of the right voting for Arnold, too (except for the hard-headed conservatives that will stay home). If the recall goes through, we potentially sabotage ourselves for the DNC and they can keep California.

Just as it is BAD for the GOP to have 2 major candidates in this race, it is GOOD for the DNC that we have 2 major candidates in this race. Just like we will be thrilled if the Greens run someone strong in 2004 to take votes away from Bush's DNC opposition.
