McClintock Cautiously Optimistic About Chances
After casting his vote this morning in a Thousand Oaks polling place, Republican state Senator Tom McClintock expressed confidence that an upset win would put him in the governor's office.
In recent days, McClintock has repeatedly said his his third place standing in the polls doesn't respresent the true feelings of voters. He believes the people of California will vote their consciences, resulting in a victory for him.
McClintock had a message for those who like his message, but say he can't win and intend to vote for Schwarzenegger instead of him. "Don't vote for someone else's calculations, vote your own convictions," he said.
While disturbed by recent allegations about fellow Republican Schwarzenegger, McClintock also expressed skepticism about the charges because of the timing. Whatever his reservations, however, he said that if the accusations are proven, Schwarzenegger doesn't deserve to be governor.
McClintock has mapped out his first day in office if elected. First, he plans to sign an executive order to repeal the car tax, then take action to rescind expensive energy contracts, and finally call a special session to examine workman's compensation issues.

Maybe we should have counselors on hand, like they do after something really bad happens at a grade school.

ROFLOL !!!!!! Should we take up a collection?
To: Howlin
We most certainly are not. I strongly disagree. Yes, most of us here on FR ten to lean to the right of the political spectrum, but politics amongst Americans in general is not as important as it is to us, so FReepers easily provide a legitimate sociological model from which to study.

>>>Regards, and sleep tight!Thanks Lancey. I knwo you'kk sleep well, as I will. People who stick by their principles and convictions always sleep well. The last time I lost sleep, was when Ronald Reagan lost to Gerald Ford in 1976 and we had Jimmuh Carter for four long years. I have an idea the same storyline might be in store for California, this time around. But I'll say a prayer and hope Arnold does a decent job. Lotsa good folks in the Golden State and I wish them well.

It's a pretty funny story.
Check it out. The environmentalists were totally duped. (I found out about this watching
The Sopranos - Tony's crew was mad that they didn't get credit, or some such thing - LOL.)

"There is no truth to the rumor that Arnold Schwarzenegger has won this election. Tom McTalk has won with 100% of the vote, he has a clear mandate to rule."

but politics amongst Americans in general is not as important as it is to usWhich is exactly why we're NOT a microcosm of the real world.
