That's enough to extract concessions he didnt get before; that's my point

And an excellent one it is. If you don't play you can't win. McClintock, if he decides to drop out, has 15% worth of leverage that should be used to advance conservatism. No promise from Arnold and the California Republican Party, no dropping out.

It's called politics.

How about this for a deal.. Oct 1, Tom drops out and Parsky and Firestone and the country clubbers step down as the CA GOP marionette string pullers and return the party to real conservatives? That would be one way I would use Tom's "leverage". just a thought. If Arnie wins, fine, hell Busty is going bust either way as things look now.
