[Kevin Curry]

Arnold will win this race . . .

Why is that? Is it because he favors strict gun cotrols? Is it because he wants to legitimize illegal aliens and pick up their education and medical expenses on the public dime? Is it because he will "never forgive" the Republican Party for supporting the impeachment of vile liar Bill Clinton? Maybe it's because sexual perversion fits his definition of wholesome family values and he supports every kinky definition of marriage and partnership that can be brainstormed? Or is it that he's given the "right wing crazies" their comeuppance for daring to suggest in a colorblind society government shouldn't be allowed to collect divisive race-related data on its citizens? Is it because he supports big government nanny programs such as elder-care, day-care, and sunaway public funding of the teachers union dominated education system?

Please tell me: what is the attraction of Arnold Schwarzenegger to a clear-thinking conservative anyway?

"Why is that?" (as if you didn't already know this)
Because KC, he (ARnold) is the better, stronger, more appealing candidate for most Californians. That won't change in the next week.

Kevin, I'm not going to argue with you. I was a 70s kid in LA, also. Lord knows I have skeletons in my closet. I think McClintock is a marvelous person, but, please get this: He can't win. There's no way he can win. There's no way he can win with even Bustamante. You are living in a dream world. I know CA. I lived there for years. The only person who can overtake Gray Davis and Bustamante is Arnold Schwarzenegger. He's the only one who can do it.

The McClintock supporters will be upset, I know. The man is a good person. I think Arnie will somehow give him the boost he needs to be the next Governor of CA. I don't think Arnie wants to make this a career choice. If you were him, would you stay in a job where the only place you could advance was to the US Senate? Give me a break. He would be bored to death with Fat Ted his uncle, for crying out loud.

I'm not saying Tom McClintock is a bad person. He just can't win this race.

The same as Rudy Giulliani's and an entire host of others. That you are incapable of understanding what Arnold's appeal is, to the majority of California's voters, is YOUR problem. No answers will help you, no answerrs will inform you, no answers will dispell your bias, and no answers are going to be good enough nor acceptable to you.
