McClintock does not have the numbers to win. He is too conserative for Californicators. "IF" he did win, his conservative ideas would not stand a chance against a largely Democratic Legislature.
A vote for McClintock is a vote for Bustamante and if Cruz drops out it's a vote for Davis. They are counting on the die hard McClintockers.
A very good Gallup poll shows that McClintock would not only beat Bustamante, he would beat him handily. He could not defeat Bustamante if he were too conservative for Californians.
If Bustamante were to withdraw, would you still support Schwarzenegger over McClintock knowing his stances on gun control, illegal aliens, public education, affirmative action, and big government social programs and the rest?
