Does he have "shrinkage" from the 'roids?

Not that I noticed.

Best analysis is that Arnold didn't close the deal, but he did better than expected. Tom set himself up for national Republican politics tonight. Well done by the head of the Cargo Cult. My hats off to him.

Bustamante and Davis were both huge losers tonight.

Arianna and Peter? Well, what can one say but....

Be Seeing You,

Debate Summary:

McClintock: Cut taxes, cut spending, eliminate waste.

Bustamonte: We are MeECHA, resistance is futile, you will be assimilated.., and taxed.

Cameho: EAT THE RICH!

Arianna: Bush and Enron are Evil!

Arnold: I agree with Tom.

California's electoral votes would be great to have, but not necessary to win.

In all due respect, it sounds like you're writing off CA from the Red map. I'm a union member in PA who votes Republican, and I talk to Democratic co-workers all the time, and they're rabid against Bush and they're going for the win this time. We need every single state in the Red column.

This thread is only rivaled by the live thread when the tanks rolled into Baghdad.

It's a night I'll never forget....

Bustamonte's performance was adequate. Nothing more, but That's all he needs to be in order to get the Dim base behind him.

Holy Moly! The lady from NPR is telling Brit Hume that McClintock won and was the most substantive speaker. I think I'm gonna have a heart attack or something

Why? Some of us LOVE Bustamante and we know that support for McClintock is the only way Cruz can be elected

Go Tom!!!!

MadClintock: I know every inch of goverment...just don't ask me to fill out the California Voter Guide entry form.

You've just got a nasty, cynical, unattractive sense of humor. Your sense of humor is not going to attrack votes for Arnold, but only serve to tick off those who prefer McClintock to Arnold.

Looks like everyone is going bald

[ambrose]

I expect Arnold's embrace of Texas to be turned into attack ads by Grayout...

[woodyinscc]

I was trying to listen to the debate, I typed out what I thought was a good answer to a poster, and when it came up it was 430 posts behind. LOL!!

[Texas_Jarhead]

Anyone catch Cruz talking about that home building stuff? It sounded like he was suggesting that local governments get into the home building business. Did I misunderstand his mumbo jumbo or what?

Anyone?

[teldon30]

I think you missed the errr joke ;)

[DoughtyOne]

Agreed, but her comments drifted into Bush territory, not state issues and I'm glad he slammed her down on that. She and Camejo acted like they were running for president.

Looks like everyone is going bald


MSNBC show

I should hope so!
