Wow Fair...Nice post!!!

Not demeaning, not a rant, just...nice...

Other than the part about McClintock dropping out, or the main point you were attempting, I agree with you...you were civil!!!

As I have told you before, if Tom is nowhere to be found, say three weeks out, then I will go Arnold...how about you, if Tom is about even with Arnold three weeks out, what are you going to do??? (Trick question here, note that at that point McClintock will have all the momentum...).

BTW: Where do you fall in the political spectrum? I will gladly tell you, I am on the far right...(guns, life, less government, protect our borders, etc.).

I will vote for whatever "r" is looking like the leader.
I can vote for McClintock... if I had to, and thought it was the only way to win.

Winning is more important than 100 percent score on ideology.
But it won't be close...
And McClintock WILL drop out.
Take it to the bank.
or let me hedge that with he WILL be forced to drop out, of the race, or the party, if he refuses.

the "my way or no way" righty tighties will not be running the party either way... nor will the "lefties" if Arnold wins.

At this point a vote for McClintock is as good as one for bustamove... but I honestly think ARnold will win even if McClintock 'stays in til the bitter end'.

He is about as appealing in his "charisma" as a bottle of phillips MOM... and whether idealogues like it or not... in the day of TV and MEDIA... people, especially moderate women, soccer moms and such vote on "appearance" and "charisma" instead of mathmatical calculation skills.

California is no longer conservative christian enough to elect a "true right winger" like Tom...

I don't actually care though ultimately as long as an R wins.
It's a party thing with me. You cannot govern, if you don't win... even with all the "pretty pretty pretty" ideas and correct moral constructs...

Would you vote for Arnold if Mac dropped out?
Most Mac supporters won't... because for them, Arnold is not conservative enough.

If Mclintock and Arnold are neck and neck....and are beating Bustamante, go McClintock.

Right now....unfortunately, if I could vote, I would have to vote Arnold. He is the only guy currently with a shot to beat Bustamante.
