McClintock might have had a good shot at the Governorship if people didn't really love Arnold. He connects with the voters on an emotional level, and that beats intellectuals every time.

Tom's run an outstanding campaign for someone not well known who has no money. If he doesn't wind up threatening Arnold - and I don't think he will - he's in a pretty strong position for the next incumbent-free election. (I would not advise him to go against Arnold if and when he runs for a second term).

Perhaps with you! I've met you before LOL... lets just say a Star Trek example might be able to "connect" best...

I've said it before, I'll say it again, (R)nold's support is broad but shallow. The worst thing that could ever happen to him is to actually have to govern. The people will sober up very quickly. If he survives till 2006, Tom had better run. If he doesn't, I probably could beat what is left of JoinArnold.
