Ray Haynes:
We lost a solid conservative, who could have financed his own campaign, and got a solid conservative who could not, because Tom believed he was entitled to the Governor's office. This is not a battle over personality; it is a battle over principle. I believe the principles we believe in lost when Darrell pulled out, and they lost because Tom would not even consider anything other than his personal campaign for Governor.<.b>
As so many have been saying all along, TOM IS IN IT FOR TOM.
The curtain has been pulled back, the humbug has been exposed. So much for the phony "it's the principle" claims. So much for the lame "This is not a coronation, the person has to "earn" the position/votes." rants. Tom thinks it is a coronation and he's the chosen, "heir to the throne", beauty queen. No wonder he's got a huge chip on his shoulder.
Bye bye Tom.

Well, I'm sadly disappointed that so many people have taken it upon themselves to attack McClintock so viciously. McClintock is a fine conservative with a great record and does not deserve this abuse. I can understand that people don't think he can beat Arnold due to his money, fame, name recognition and backing by Wilson and other big name Republicans, etc, but this does not mean McClintock should have his name and reputation dragged through the mud. Whatever happens this election, we will still need conservatives like McClintock in California. Wish we had more like him.
