Tom McClintock is the one guy that I believe could actually begin to fix the mess the state is in right now. I left the state a few years back, but I always remember McClintock as a guy I almost always agreed with.

McClintock is the only guy in the mix who actually knows where the bodies are buried in the budget. He is sort of a local David Stockman type (remember him?). The rest of the gang thinking about running don't have a clue. They also don't have his take no prisoner guts, when it comes to having the honesty to just say in public that the emperor has no clothes.
