Again, which policy, exactly, do you believe Arnold supports that would allow you to claim victory. You can't say tax cuts - he isn't really supporting those and won't defenitely promise anything but the car tax. You can't say not increasing taxes - he won't rule out a tax raise. You can't say cutting spending - he won't say what spending he will cut, if any, and he has previously campaigned for new spending programs. You can't say stoping illegals from sucking off the gov't teat - he has stated he would never support taking education away from an illegal (and I would imagine, this would apply to health care as well, etc.). You can't say social issues - he is for abortion and for homosexuals.
So, for what conservative policy exactly will an Arnold victory be? Defeating one liberal in favor of another is NOT a conservative policy victory - no matter how hard you try to spin it.
Even as McClintock moves up in the polls, and Arnold down, the Arnold supporters refuse to even think about supporting an actual conservative, while demanding that the McClintock supporters abandond an actual conservatives. I'm not sure how the "moderates" rationalize this, aside from the magic "R".

I just wanted to see if you could ever make a logical argument. You're vote for Arnold is the real vote for Cruz, and you know it, which is why you are getting so upset. Join the conservatives. We have a winning message.
