California to Formally Endorse Arnold Schwarzenegger Today

I thought the election wasn't until October 7th... :^)

This announcement comes as a big blow to Tom McClintock.

Although this should be true I can't believe that McClintock will see it as a big bolw. At this point he's only in it for the publicity, being so far behind in the polls and all. By gladly taking away voted from Arnold he shows that he could care less if CA has to put up with liberal demoncRATs from now on.

As much as I admire him..........and I admire him a LOT...........McClintock should pull out, endorse Arnold, help him get elected......and then get the support of the Party for a run at the Senate. Anything else would be political suicide for him, IMHO.

Arnold was doing fine on his own, polls indicating he's picking up lots of independent and even Democrat voters. I don't see how the endoresement of one of the political parties really helps him. In fact, it might actually do harm.

...see it as a big bolw...

Or as a big blow either...

Huge Blow to McClintock

Arnold got all of his back in the go-go seventies.

[DoughtyOne]

For a man that has already demonstrated that he couldn't care less if Bustamante wins or not, I don't see why this would be a big blow to him.

[BunnySlippers]

Although this should be true I can't believe that McClintock will see it as a big bolw.

He HAS been delusional lately.

Its stupid that the GOP should have to endorse one of their own candidates. McClintock just cut his throat for any future GOP help.

Quote from Tom McClintock: "I have never been popular in the country club wing of the Republican Party."

Go, McClintock!! www.helptom.com

California to Formally Endorse Arnold Schwarzenegger Today

I put in a request to have the title read California GOP. It hasn't been changed yet.

[Snuffington]

Not that I doubt this reflects the majority opinion in the party, but how does a party make this endorsement without a primary? I'm not asking this philisophically, I'm asking about the mechanics - like who makes the call, and what input is required.

[BlackElk]

Proving yet again that California no longer has a Republican Party, just some guerrillas holding a few outposts.

California GOP platform:

1) Kill the babies; 2) Allow lavender "marriage";

3) Allow lavenders to adopt innocent children:

4) Attack religious values in whatever ways are available;

5) Make world safe for polo;

6) Grab guns;

7) Beat the servants thoroughly with a GOP club;

8) Raise taxes to indoctrinate the surviving babies in gummint skewels;

9) Make brie and chablis the official state meal.

You deserve what you are voting for. Don't say you were not warned. Don't blame Cruz or Doofus. Blame yourselves. You have earned the blame.

I love being an observer on these threads.

"McClintock is still winning and shall be the next governor of California."

[zacyak]

As much as I admire him..........and I admire him a LOT...McClintock should pull out, endorse Arnold, help him get elected..

I'm starting to lean in that direction. I usually avoid these threads because I'm not a resident of California, but here in NY, the best we could do was Pataki. In liberal states, you sometimes have to take what you can get.
