Better he continue as the voice in the wilderness and continue to make people aware that fiscal conservatism and social liberalism is the perfect oxymoron.To hell with being a voice in the wilderness. McClintock cannot win. Thus he should drop out to show support for the Republican Party (and thus theoretically to conservative principles). The politcal capital he gains by being a 'team player' and the exposure he has gained in this race can be spent in the campaign against Boxer.
You cannot turn this state into Iowa. Take what you can take and whittle away at modern liberalism piece by piece. I'd rather have McClintock as governor, but I'll take Arnold's veto power over Far Left legislation and the possibility of one U.S. Senator being conservative.
Meanwhile, hammer away at the liberal bias in the media and the academy. The pendulum can shift in three years to the Right under the right circumstances, but only if we have a governor who vetoes the state assembly.
"To hell with being a voice in the wilderness. McClintock cannot win."
If All the people who "say" they prefer Mc would vote FOR him and quit repeating the "he can't win" mantra, he would win!!!
"Thus he should drop out to show support for the Republican Party"
Once again, you are proving my point, the corrupted party is more important than core beliefs.
"(and thus theoretically to conservative principles). The politcal capital he gains by"
You do realize what you are saying with your theoreticle comment here, don't you?
Further, why do you continue to believe that the people you continue to elect/re-elect will ever change their stripes? to date and for decades they have not.
