Try this one on for size:

McClintock's career is far from over. In fact, over the last few days I have determined that his presence in the race was part of a well-orchestrated plan by the California GOP to get Arnold Schwarzenegger elected governor.

And, if Schwartenegger gets in an pulls a Christie Todd Whitman, raises taxes and behaves like a liberal? Then, the Republican will be resting in peace for generation.

Sadly, the polls show McClintock would win easily if not for Schwarenkennedy. This was the one chance to save the Republican party in California. Now, conservatives put their faith and trust in a liberal Republican with the character of Bill Clinton.

I heard somewhere that TM ran for congress against Bob Hope's son for a congressional district including Simi valley. Story was he withdrew from the race thinking he could never beat a celebrity. Turns out Hope lost.

I imagine that retreat plays heavily on his mind.

Doug, I have to agree. I love Tom's policies, but my respect for the man has been destroyed. I wrote this on another thread.

Webster's refers to it this way...

1. A mental disorder characterized by symptoms, such as delusions..., that indicate impaired contact with reality.

This is the definition of Psychosis.

Tom McClintock cannot get elected with 15-18% of the vote.  82-85% of the public disagrees with his views.  I happen to agree with his views, but so what?  He isn't going to win.  He isn't a viable choice.  Tom's campaign is over.  That is reality and Tom can't deal with it any more than his impaired followers can.

This can only be explained by a temporary Mass Psychosis.

A group of people want something so badly, that they simply cannot deal with reality.  Those that recognize reality and have chosen to deal with it, must be the sick ones, since Tom's followers certainly can't be.

The cure is coming.  October 8th will force reality upon them.  Don't celebrate.

At that point another Mass Psychosis will be instilled upon them.

At that point every move of Schwarzenegger will be judged by what McClintock would have done.  It doesn't matter that McClintock was opposed by 82-85% of the electorate or even more.  If only we would have chosen Tom, this (whatever it will be) wouldn't be happening.  That McClintock couldn't get elected without a couple of divisions, artillary, air cover and M-16s won't matter one whit.

Get ready for Mass Psychosis II, grating on a thread near you.

The choice is this on October 7th.  You either swallow the blue pill and except reality for what it is, or you take the orange one and sink back into your psychosis.

In the real world, it's Arnold or Cruz.  Does it matter or doesn't it?

You call this news. This is a vanity post. It should be labeled that.

This is the first time I'm commenting on this issue, and it is to say that I don't have to make a decision on this one thankfully. One part of me says "If you always vote for the lesser of two evils, you will get nothing but evil" -- this half of me supports McClintock. On the other hand there is part of me that says "If you always vote for the one that is on the extreme edge, you will never get your way", and this is the part that supports Arnold.

McClintock represents the California GOP's base. He is a hero.

I have to agree with the RIP part. I like everything I've heard about Tom, except for the suicidal streak. It disqualifies him for any future support.

yes, its extremely sad to see a good conservative throw away his career for no reason. At this point I don't see how he can get out gracefully. He will get his 10 to 15% on election day and then what? Choose your battles wisely Tom.

One problem with your conclusion Doug. With Tom in the race it does two things. Protects Arnol(D) from a massive slime attack, if the Dems have some serious dirt on him. Two, if an act of God, accident, or health problem arises in the next few days and incapacitates Arnol(D), the Republicans still have a man in the race who can handily beat Busta.

McClintock will probably never be governor. But, his political career is far from dead, and you don't know where things will go. He might even be governor later on, Senator is another possibility. He did well in this free-for-all.

But Bustamante supports none of my agenda.

Well Arnold made some movies and Bustamante didn't.
But I'll be doggone if I can think of any other differences.
