See, for these people, McClintock is one more name for their tiny brains to remember. They already remember Arnold form their celebrity gossip shows and Oui magazine articles. They are infactuated with him and I think in several cases, they have a crush on him that has little to do with politics. Look at all the graphics that put him in movie-like situations or phrases that use lines from his movies which are inserted into promotional material. For people with below average IQ's having to think things through in a critical and sensible manner is just to taxing.
I don't think a lot of these people are conservatives because they believe in the ideals, it's just a team to be on because daddy was on it, or it seemed cool to go against (or with) the rest of the crowd. A lot of people here think that it takes a lot of brains to become a conservative, but just like being a liberal, it doesn't because you can just copy the guy next to you. If you agree with Arnold on the issues then you honestly vote for him, but turning this into a high-school popularity contest is just demeaning and embarrassing to all involved. People who would vote for Arnold because they have seen him in movies are a greater danger to the nation than the Bustamente voters, who at least have some idea as to why they are voting for him (which obviously excludes those voting for him exclusivly for being Latino or exclusivly for being a Democrat).

Sorry, but I have to disagree with you.

I believe that many of the fine FReepers who live in California are so blindly desperate to get rid of Davis that they will throw away all principles and convictions and support anybody who calls himself a "Republican" if they think that person has a chance to win, even if that person is pro-gun control, pro-homosexual adoption, pro-abortion, pro-illegal alien, etc.

See, they are choking to death and they need somebody to empty the contents of a BIC pen and jam the hollow tube that's left into their throats, just below the Adam's apple. They really don't care who does it, but it better be somebody, and quick.

They are not (necessarily) "RINOs" - - they have simply lost their senses. I think it's temporary.
