And you think they don't have any dirt on McClintock? If Arnold drops out they'll start calling him anti-choice, anti-immigrant, etc. and end his campaign right then and there. Plus, McClintock doesn't have any money to run TV ads. When the media stops calling attention to his fiscal strengths, how's he going to get his message out?

And just how is "anti-choice, anti-immigrant, etc." "dirt?"

McClintock is the TRUE conservative in the race and now you're going to call his principles, which I though were those of most on FR, "dirt?"

Unbelievable.

So very true. Let's not forget how the media will re-label him as the "Ultra-conservative" candidate as well. Just to turn off moderates and really scuttle his chances. Why people here don't realize that is beyond me.

There's a big difference between smears and accurately stating his position on things like abortion, etc. As for TV ads; true, he doesn't have the bucks to run as many as Arnold, but the air time he's getting for free by way of interviews, where he can speak in complete sentences instead of quick sound bytes, is worth more than an ad if timed properly.
