I'm not a resident of CA, so I take a more "nationally strategic" view. In that view, the best outcome for the state and the nation is the election of Arnold as Governor. Here's why:
Any R is better than any D, and Arnold has the best chance among all of the R's. With Arnold in the governor's seat, the D's will be forced to spend money in California in the 2004 presidential race. They will get no free photo ops with a compliant D governor. That's less money that they will have to spend nationally, which could lead to greater R gains across the country.
Now, I like EVERYTHING that I have recently heard and read about Tom McClintock. In keeping with my nationally strategic perspective, I'd like Tom to save himself for the next Senatorial election in CA. He's better suited to that role, and as a US Senator, he can share his principled conservatism with the rest of the country.

If Tom is running at around 20% or above I say let him in the race for the long haul, anything else is wasting time..
