"I Tom McClintock am the only one for this state or nobody else can win. If you won't back me, I won't leave to help the party and will attempt to spoil. If the party loses and Bustamante wins, that is probably good for me in 2006, so my interest are served anyway. I don't care about the Republican party, the people of California or it's future....but be sure to back me in the future campaigns, especially against Boxer, because I am that dam important and special"

As much as I do like McClintock and what he stands for, that is exactly how I interpreted his staying to the end. He put the election at risk, and we could have Bustamente today ... trying to reannex us to Mexico tomorrow! The "Tombots" stood for non-reality. Let's take our reality in small bites... slow and steady wins the race.

We both agree that above statement personified the McClintock spirit in this race, that isn't to be rewarded with another run as the Republican against Boxer or anyone else.
