I'd love to see the party back him in a bid against Boxer in 2004. We folks here in CA and the across the country would benefit tremendously by Senator McClintock representing the great State of California.

Won't happen. Issa, Brulte, Jones, and even Simon will get party backing before McClintock does.

We'll have to see what we can do about this, eh?

Bait, eh?

Saber, I have made a point of ignoring you, because I think you think you are more important than everyone else, otherwise you would not have the need to post that ostentatious "look at me --- read my lofty posts" icon.

You may think you're special, but I do not.

I believe that Tom's talents would be wasted in the U.S. Senate. He should run for re-election to the state senate. In '06, the Lt. Governor's post will be open (Bustamante will be term limited), and he should be able to trade his name ID and positives for that stepping stone to the governorship. It is also possible that Arnold will simply grow bored and quit after one term (a la Jesse Ventura)...
