Very well. And you neglected to address the state govt/legislature. So lets sum it up:
You assert California is a conservative state just yearning for a real conservative to vote for. As evidence of this you point at some ballot initiatives that you say are entirely conservative (though a later poster claimed they were worded in a manner that attracted attention from liberals too).
You choose to discount the evidence contrary to your position -- namely that the state has two Democrat senators, a predominantly Democrat US House delegation (and you use as evidence to discount that item the fact that TX has a majority Dem House delegation), a Dem governor and a majority Dem State legislature.
I think an impartial observer would weigh all this data and conclude a position in support of my original questions to McClintock supporters.
1. Is California a liberal state?
2. Is McClintock a conservative?
3. Given that 1 and 2 are true, how can he win?
Why is not half a loaf (Schwarzenegger could be relied on not to use the governor's prerogatives to aid the Dem presidential candidate next year) better than none?
You assert California is a conservative state just yearning for a real conservative to vote for. As evidence of this you point at some ballot initiatives that you say are entirely conservative But not the votes, you simply don't vote for "antiGay" ballot initiatives and sneak that by people with the media against it-word to the wise, doesn't happen!
I'm insulted that you are back to your ad hominems after all I said-talk about neglecting, that is EXACTLY what you did.
I got a better question for you, do you honestly expect me to believe that the same conservatives, whether we agree they are the majority or not, will be turning out to vote for AS? I've at least established to you that they are sizeable, whether the "triangulation minions" on here choose to post but don't have the b@lls to address me directly or not. Get real. The good people in the "flyover counties" won't vote, like usual, for a pro-gay, pro abortion, possibly tax and spend Kennedy Republican. Now, try to follow this and think real hard this time; if they vote, but not for the RINO, but yes in #1-if their numbers don't outweigh AS, he wins.
What is all the whining about? Think it through, they aren't voting for him anyways, but its nice to cancel out all the no on recall, yes on racist vote. If you're guy really is the great GOP hope, (with negativity numbers he already has, and the CA papers today splashing that his Dad was a stormtrooper its only gonna get worse)he wins a close one.
