I think so many people looking in who don't live in California or never lived there don't understand why McClintock can't win... and how a meathead really could get elected in that upside-down state... and when people stay home and don't vote or vote for someone who doesn't stand a chance then this is what we get.... and why NJ now has a Corzine.
Yet. ;)
While a good guy, McClintock is made his career on being the "no" guy. Never ever voted for a budget, for example. He's coming around to being about progress and less about strict litmus tests, however, with his endorsement of Arnold's props.
I'll support him for Lt. Gov next year but he couldn't win the governorship if Arnold couldn't run next year. Not a chance. Meatheads can win because they have the money behind them. Decide you're going to run again Feinstein and no one will give you the time of day much less a dime. Arnold won because he was high prolife and it was an election revolt against the establishment.
