Arnold Schwarzenegger's liberal social views will earn him 10-15% of Democratic votes. Therefore, we should be voting our conscience as conservatives. This recall is not like a primary election. There are 143 candidates, all who will receive votes of varying degrees. The media can't predict this race, because it is a grass-roots effort. It can be won with 35% of the vote. If all conservatives vote for Tom McClintock, he can win. Period.
So spare me the insulting posts on every McClintock thread. We're either conservatives, or we're not.

1. What are (R)nold's total %s?
2. More importantly than that often times misleading number early in an election-what are his negativity numbers? over his No Opinion? Those are a more telling barometer, which is why Simon dropped out, his disapprovals were off the charts. Do you know what your (R)nold's is?
3. I'm told this is a liberal state, the only way we can get elected, as the legend goes, is to appeal to Democrates, what is the % of Democrates supporting (R)nold's No-Offending-Issues campaign? After all, his Tonight Show annoucing was brilliantly groundbreaking and a spectacular populist rallying. If Demos are to be appealed to, now would be their zenith. Care to answer these polling questions?
If I am going to see you on every McClintock thread, flaming your same Talking Points at whatever decent Conservative posted it, you won't be able to run away from these statistics. All of which were from before Simon dropped out.
