You should also take a look at the leftist OC weekly's piece on "The Progressive Case for Governor McClintock."

Their argument is similar to the Arnold case among Republicans--he's not with us on the social issues, but he would return the state to fiscal sanity. People say he can't win Democratic votes, but I think that's very much not the case. A lot of leftists truly admire and will support a principled conservative.

I'm not completely immune to that arguement, but I still don't see those numbers showing up for him yet. I believe his core support is from conventional conservatives.
