To the point, the Dems know that McClintock is a formidable opponent, and they would love for him to drop out so they can slime Arnold big time. Tom is not only an insurance policy (if something happened to Arnold) he is a shield for Arnold in the sense that he is causing the Dem dirty tricksters to hold their fire. Tom says he will be in to the end--the end may be for him the day before the election if the Swartzenegge numbers hold. I have the greatest respect for Tom taking the heat from his own party for the good of the party.

"Tom says he will be in to the end--the end may be for him the day before the election if the Swartzenegge numbers hold. I have the greatest respect for Tom taking the heat from his own party for the good of the party."

You may be right. But here is the problem I see with that strategy. If Tom stays in until the day before and then pulls out tossing his supporters to Arnold, how does he get the word out fast enough to accomplish that purpose. Does anyone think the media will help with that? "IF" it were so that Tom "cannot win" then it would be to the media's and the Dem's advantage to keep mum and let the Republicans split the vote just enough to elect Busto.

Arnold is not my choice but Busto is even less.
