Besides that, we could USE McClintock's expertise in a high budget and policymaking post.

So, McClintock's Conservatism is welcomed in policy making but not welcomed enough to sit in the Governor's chair.

Californians want it both ways, but liberal social issues will never lead to a balanced, Conservative, budget. That's where McClintock comes in. Let the liberals and the RINO's spend, and let McClintock take the fall due to his "failed Conservative" budget policy's.

If Arnold thinks he can, overnight, fill in the hole Sacamento liberals have been digging themselves into for years he's mistaken. With McClintock to take the heat, when it all hits the fan one day soon, he has a way of assuaging the public's anger.

This exposes them far better than anything we can say. The people voting for Arnold are social conservatives (read entitlements).

Once again:

Fiscal Conservatism is to Social Liberalism as Water is to a Lit Match.
