"my friends"

The topic of this thread is McClintock and, at least in my opinion, how he is a sure loser. I'm not going to focus on your friends, but please explain how this other loser, McClintock is an asset to the people of California.

Okay. Now this is a real discussion. :-)

First of all, I need to know why you think McClintock is a loser. Then I can work with the question.

And not a bunch of emotional stuff, either. Clear, solid reasons.

The irony here is that, even if McClintock stays the course, he will lose a substantial portion of his poll #s OVERNIGHT before the election, as voters migrate to Arnold, seeing that he CAN win. The tragedy would be if McClintock's reduced numbers still rob Arnold, and the People of California, of a Governor who will inject some fiscal sanity.

THAT is why a) McClintock CANNOT win under any plausible scenarios, and b) why McClintock needs to get out at some point and endorse Arnold.

Otherwise his political future is zilch. Now, maybe he thinks, OK, I'll lose and elect Busty, then run again and beat him in 2007. This would be an example of elevating selfish goals ahead of the people's interests and would GUARANTEE that McClintock would have ZIPPO chance in 2007.

So, his political future is clouded - his best bet - cut a deal with Arnold that could get him visibility and a REAL shot at the "BIG TIME" after Arnold's term ends.

*WHEW* At least that is how I see it. Arnold's got my vote because he can be more effective than ANYONE else by "going over the people's heads" and using his HUGE popularity to force the Rats in Sacto to toe the fiscally sane line.

CAN he do it? I think he can. I am willing to take a chance. I traded Rick Perry (Gov - TX) for Grayout Doofus when I moved here last Fall, and saw the ENTIRE GOP list go down in flames. Enough to get the hair standing up on the neck of this ex-patriate Texan. I'll do anything to prevent a Rat-Traitor-Commie like Bustamante from winning. Including voting for Arnold.

Face it folks - you're not in Texas anymore - your (our) state is populated by lunatics (I give as an example my well-off lawyer cousin in law in LA who fancies himself a "moderate" - only because his wife, my cousin, is an out-and-out Leftist. Who does he think was a great president, loved by everyone? A:Comrade Clinton.)

If this is what passes for "moderation" here in The People's Republic of Kalifornia, my friends, you need to WAKE UP and vote for the ONLY MAN who CAN win:

THE TERMINATOR!!!
