[Reagan Man]

>>>Bruce Hserschensohn is also backing McClintock.

There are a few conservative Republicans backing McClintock. Lyn Nofziger, Michael Reagan, Michael Savage, George Will, Jim Robinson, along with Bob Dornan and Bruce Herschensohn. The short list. ;^)

>>> Is there a divide between older and newer Republicans?

I think theres a divide between smart Republicans, in the pro-McClintock wing and dumb Republicans, in the pro-Schwarzenegger-liberal/win at any price wing.

Assemblyman Jay LaSeur (R-77) speaks in ads for McClintock run by the El Cajon Gun Exchange in the San Diego area. LaSeur is a great guy, too!

There are scores of liberals who are afraid of McClintock, because they fear their pork may get cut or exposed or they know how difficult it is to extract wasteful concessions from him. There are also many, many Republicans who find it politically expedient to be seen endorsing a winner; they're afraid of losing campaign money if they openly support a loser, as Bill Jones discovered in 2002 after he supported McCain in 2000.

between smart Republicans

and dumb Republicans,

Hmm. How smart is it to be out of office, with no power?
