I hope that if Arnold S wins, he and his people never give Rush Limbaugh the time of day. Mclintock was the ultimate spoiler and Limbaugh the ultimate coward in all this. Rush was making defense of Arnold noises today, like the real two faced coward he is. Wants to cozy up to the likely winner. After being the biggest encouragement to Mclintock staying in and possibly delivering Governor Bustamante. If Arnold winds with a split republican vote, it will be truly remarkable.

I would like to take a moment to ask for donations.

It should be clear to all conservatives by now that the left intends to demonize us. They don't just disagree with us, they hate us. And worse, they want to get other people to hate us.

Places like Free Republic drive the left batty.

Please donate. Thanks for your consideration.

Ooooh.....Looky here!!

I don't live in California, so I get to ponder upon who I would vote for consequence-free, and it would have to be McClintock.

[Feiny]

I am still trying to decide. I really like McClintock because he is honest, shares my values and has a great plan. Arnold is a goal achiever & has been able to achieve every goal he ever set for himself. If his goal is to fix CA....he will do it.
I am torn over voting for the man I think should be governor and the man who will probably win & may need my vote.

Tom is well respected but outnumbered in the the legislature. He may be of better use in the Senate than the governors office. Arnold will use his charm & influence to change minds....I am leaning to Arnold even though I would rather vote for Tom.

AARRRHHHH I must make up my mind soon!!!

[RushingWater]

So just put an R beside that name and who cares what they stand for! A vote for McClintock is to send fear to every level of the Republican party of what happens when you support a pro-gay, pro-abortion, anti-gun candidate!

[inquest]

They are aware that if it were just Bustamante against McClintock, McClintock would lose.

Wrong. That's a lie that is constantly repeated, and it needs to be exposed every time it's uttered.

"Furthermore, when McClintock is pitted against just Bustamante, among probable voters the Republican state senator beats the Democratic candidate handily -- by 19 percentage points." Source

Face it, Swartie supporters: You were used by liberals, once again.

mater matter

[Can't some Arnold supporters even use a spell checker?]

;-)

Seriously, Arnold would be campaigning from somewhere to the left of St. Petersburg if it wasn't for Tom.

It's one thing to be pragmatic, but it's a different and vile thing to decry a conservative whose main fault seems to be (of all things) sticking to his word.

The success of this recall and of Arnold may help bring other recalls and eventually something of a parliamentary system of government into being in the U.S. In my view this is a good thing because ...

WTF???

Obligatory "go figure". :-(

[AmericanMade1776]

Actually McClintock has people Who will go to the polls just to vote YES on the RECALL... AND that is the first issue that needs to be taken care of. Arnold is the clear winner according to polls, so it is necessary for the McClintock folks to get there and VOTE YES ON THE RECALL.

Thank you for the post... a great read :-)

[malcorta2002]

how can you honestly support a man who is yet to make one political statement, the man has built his entire campaigne on cliches and it is just extremely insulting to the people he says he will represent

[nmh]

It will be a happy day for the RHINO's when oink, oink, Arnold the pig wins.

A vote for Schwarzenegger is a vote against Bush in 2004.

I worked as a Lab tech in the early Eighties in a major NJ Hospital. I knew almost the whole staff at the Hospital after a few years. I will never forget a Nurse on a certain floor that told a story to me about the abortions on this unit. She told me that many times they would leave a baby in an empty room until it didn't move anymore.

I use to work that hospital at all hours and I would never walk down that way at night because it would give me the creeps. I never forgot that situation. True story. I also heard the real deal about the procedure from the people who performed it. I did work on young women that just were wheeled into the recovery room. They almost always were in tears.

To think that anyone would vote for Arnold and give his pal Warren Buffett a seat right there in California is beyond me. The Jubilation for this Pro-Abortionist is too much to handle. Killing the un-born is the greatest sin in the History of mankind. Yet some say a Newspaper smear job is greater... I do not agree.

There was a choice in this election , but he got smeared also.

[California74]

I'm halfway through the article and this line is the BEST:

They figure that Schwarzenegger may not be the second coming of Ronald Reagan (May God Ever Smile Upon Him), but he's a lot better than Bustamante.

May God Ever Smile Upon Him! I LOVE it!!

[Feiny]

I just returned from the voting booth.....I voted for Arnold....and I feel good about it.
