http://www.realclearpolitics.com/Congressional/California_Recall3.html Excuse me? The problem with (some) conservatives is that we want all the pie, or none at all. Liberals, on the other hand, will accept partial victories if it contributes to their overall aims. Look at the polls. Arnie's fault? No way in Hades, sir!

Very true.

Look how slowly and methodically the homsexual lobby inserts its agenda!

All or I take my toys and go home is not workable.

I would MUCH rather have McClintock as Gov than Ahnold but its unreasonable to belive a guy with 15% in third place can win.

And its not reasonable to beleive that most of the Rnold votes would go to a strong conservative should he withdraw.

You are right.

Or they get so stuck on one issue that they will not consider anyone who doesn't wholeheartedly support that issue.

I guess these people consider it to be "selling out" to vote for a candidate who is not perfect.

Conservatives need to be more pragmatic and remember that "politics is the art of the possible".

Arnold may not make some folks happy. McClintock may BE the better conservative. But Arnold is the guy who can win, and with that, conservatives get a foot in the door in a place that badly needs a conservative influence.
