how are candidates such as McClintock and others being pushed aside by Arnies, Fiorinas, and Whitmans?

They aren't. Arnold won office in a special election where Democrats, Green Party, Communists and everyone else was able to vote for him. If it had been closed to Republicans he would not have won. A very great many of Republicans who voted for him were worried that the Democrat might win, so they made a strategic choice that almost all of them universally regret.

Fiorina and Whitman haven't won anything or pushed aside anyone. They are presently media darlings the way Richard Riordan was.

Well, let’s see what happens in the primaries...

The left in California will sleep through an offyear election

The right will crawl through broken glass to get the polls in 2010

Hopefully it'll be Buh-bye for Boxer

And if a miracle happens ... Pelosi will jump off the BGay Bridge.
