Why would McClintock risk handing the governorship to the most liberal Democratic candidate on the ballot? The answer is revenge an irrational emotion in politics that often trumps all others. McClintock is getting even.
McClintock was the only one of California's 40 state senators who did not receive a safe district in the 2001 reapportionment, which says something about how his colleagues view him. Next year, he has to run for reelection to the Senate, and he will be seeking votes in a new, relatively moderate district that extends up the coast into Santa Barbara County, where he has not run before."
You're totally a brainwashed imbecile. Why are you even posting here on FR? This is a CONSERVATIVE forum, not a RINO, liberal Republican one.
