I feel regret for not learning more about McClintock during the 2008 election.

Oh well, at least there's 2010. :-)

One of the best in the nation out there, IMHO. During the CA Govenator campaign debate, he was the ONLY one who had ANY ideas. But people go for the flash and idol stardom. And people “don’t like his eyes” (they’re very pale blue). I read his speeches when I can. He is the one of only a literal handful of politicians who actually understands what the common person goes through on a day to day basis, like getting up on time, getting the kids off, pay the bills, get to work, get the laundry done, etc. I haven’t any other politician even talk of such things.

Any more money given to the California politicians will either be squandered or stolen. Guaranteeing money for California is the same as flushing the money down the toilet. Until California voters put honest, responsible adults in charge of their spending the should not be given a penny of taxpayer money.

McClintock is the man that should have won instead of Schwarzenkennedy. He would have accomplished one “H” of a lot more in the right direction for Californian’s against the overwhelming odds in the Calif. Legislature than anybody else IMO.

Yes, I am calling the California Legislature a bunch of “odds”.

McClintock was instrumental in recalling Gray Davis. McClintock understood the financial problems of California probably better than anyone who has run for Governor since the days of Ronald Reagan. The GOP hacks were pushing for Arnold, of course. Faux-conservative Hugh Hewitt was one of the hacks pushing for Arnold over Tom McClintock.

Nope. Not a chance. He's running for reelection to Congress in 2010.

McClintock is the real deal and he knows California's problems because he spent most of his career in the California legislature. He was only 26 when he was originally elected to the State Assembly, and then moved on to the Senate.

Tom McClintock is universally respected and pulls votes across the spectrum of Republicans, including both the mainstream and the libertarian wing. Tom McClintock would make a great governor and I personally think, a great POTUS.

California’s borrowing costs now exceed the budget of the entire University of California ... They have just imposed the biggest tax increase by any state in American history and it has actually reduced their revenues and made their budget gap wider.
