It could mean many things. Some of them are on record as saying that if this were a primary, they would vote for McClintock over Schwarzenegger.
If Bustamante dropped out and many of these key conservative legislators switched their support to Tom, yould you still vote for Schwarzenegger?
That's easy for them to say. :-/
Surgery can help that cock in Tom's eye ~ surgery won't help the glazed, bugeyed stare he gets from time to time. *sigh*
The idea that Bustamante is withdrawing is nothing but a Bob Malholland smoke and mirrors routine. It is being hawked as a green light to anyone who truly desires to vote for Tom, but don't believe Tom can be elected. It's also being supported by people who desparately desire for Tom to pull this out.
Now we are told Bustamante can't get elected. Bustamante can still get elected until the polls close on October 7th. Only then will the race be determined.
McClintock and Schwarzenegger now poll around 55% combined. Split that an you wind up with 27.5%.
With 40% still being the figure that the no vote comes in at, it's very doubtful that Cruz well receive as little as 27% of the vote.
The idea that Bustmante can't win is just a pipe dream. He certainly could win if republicans were sucked into this Bustamante withdrawel sham.
