McClintock is a superb conservative, but he has zero charisma. He is all substance and no style - an unfortunate combination in this Media Age. But Sacramento’s loss is America’s gain; his congressional star will burn very brightly.
I’ve heard him on the Armstrong and Getty radio show several times. To me, he comes across as sharp, knowledgeable, and on the ball who actually KNOWS what he’s talking about. No, he’s not a charmer but neither is he dry and boring.
