That poll wasn't saying McClintock was 6 points behind? It was saying he would still be 6 points behind even IF Arnold completely dropped out. That says a lot about how politically ineffective McClintock is. He's on the DNC payroll I think.

No, it says how politically effective McClintock has been. Without Party support, and with far less money and name recognition, he is only doing 8% less than Schwarzenegger against Bustamante after only 4 weeks of the campaign.

With the way Arnold is performing and a couple of more debates, that gap will likely close. It was only a week ago when you were saying that the LAT poll numbers showing McClintock at 12% were bogus. No we all know that they weren't.

Just keep explaining away Arnold's performance. There is a logical explanation you know.

"No, it says how politically effective McClintock has been. Without Party support, and with far less money and name recognition, he is only doing 8% less than Schwarzenegger against Bustamante after only 4 weeks of the campaign."

I guess it is a matter of perspective. I might say: McClintock has been in California government for over 20 years. Lost statewide office twice, the 3rd is on the way.

You call that "politically effective?" Your standard is too low.
