I say a most definite no! Mc should not join the political whores (Dreier, Simon, Brulte and the others) who have lost all credibilty as conservatives in my opinion. 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.

The aforementioned have shown that their "conservative" beliefs are secondary to the survival of the party. A party that has been corrupted by liberals/socialists and is no longer the loyal opposition of the democrats, rather, they have become me-too clones.

They also supported Riordan & Wilson and every other supposed republican(s). No doubt they supported Bloomberg in NY when he ran as a repub even though he was a registered democrat, however, he couldn't stand the heat of so many dems in the race and ran as a repub. We know what that "republican" has done to freedom in NY.

Liberals do not have the courage of their convictions because they ALWAYS run as fiscal conservatives!

Flame away if you are so inclined.

The people of California are desperately looking to a movie star to save them from themselves. I think it is hilarious.

The tough policies and cuts it will take to balance the books in California will make Arnold more hated than Davis.

I believe California is beyond the point of being governable.

Most voters consistently saw their state as a bottomless pot of gold from which to take goodies. They saw endless energy supplies without allowing construction of them. They saw free health care, welfare and education without end. They saw rich people endlessly cooperating with tax increases to feed the insatiable appetite of the nanny state.

They won't like the truth.

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.
