Ross Perot was in it to win too.

"I don't see how from now until Election Day, Schwarzenegger is regarded as anything other than the front-runner," Giardiello said. "But Tom believes his economic message is the best one for this state."

Top Schwarzenegger aides said they are impressed with McClintock's ideas on rolling back the tripling of the car tax, instantly renegotiating the state's long-term energy contracts, reforming the workman's compensation system, and eliminating all duplicative state spending."

I think what would be best for CA AND McClintock is if he withdrew, supported Arnold, and accepted a position in Arnold's administration, or worked with Arnold from the CA Legilature,where he is now, then in 2008 Tom could run as a very credible candidate with broader support, as one, who was instrumental in turning CA around.

Conversely, if McClintock insists on staying in to the bitter end, and if Arnold loses, by about the margin, which went to McClintock, I doubt the Republican Party will be very forgiving.

Circumstances could change,

That is a possibility, isn't it?

[The Vast Right Wing]

Maybe with Simon out of the race, McClintonock will break 5%?

"Tom's in this race to stay," said Joe Giardiello, southern California director for the Schwarzenegger campaign.

Tom's gotta go. He can't win. Nice guy, nice try. But he could never win. He'll quit is one week.

If Arnold has a sex harrament problem, Mclintock should stay in it until the final week waiting for the Dems to play that card-which they undoubtedly will. Uebberoth has to get out now.

Giardiello told Fox News that McClintock disagrees with Simon's withdrawal statement that there are "too many Republicans in this race"

Music to Democrat ears.
This type of attitude will elect another Dem Governor for sure.

"Joe Giardiello"

This guy is listed as a director for Arnold and Tom ..?? Which is it ..??

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Giardiello said McClintock's strategy depends on "getting his message out" to moderate Republicans and independent voters.

And just how does he plan to pull those voters, with the rockheads from the CRA and every whackjob consortium of "true conservatives" eagerly waiting to shriek hysterically at the first deviation from their all or nothing agenda?

I'm voting for McClintock unless he drops out, too, in which case I'll vote for Arnold. That's the only way I'll vote for Arnold, though.

McClintock has run ahead of Simon in recent polls but as yet to capture even 10 percent Californians support. In the most recent statewide Field Poll, McClintock had 9 percent to Simon's eight percent.

"Bill Simon voters are McClintock voters, they're not Schwarzenegger voters," said Joe Giardiello, state southern California director of the McClintock campaign. "This is very good news for Tom."

17% is not enough to beat the Dems

[Jeff Gordon]

Winning it for Bustemonte.
