This is the first time I have been impressed with McClintock, he seemed to finally remember what the recall is all about.
Arnold did well and he had some specifics and the sparring with Arianna won't cost him, who could tolerate her. Even her own family has moved out.

Indeed. After tonight's nasty performance, does anyone still wonder why her husband turned gay?

Well thanks, I am dimly recalling you might have had reservations.

I'm pretty sure it took a lot of guts for Tom to stand practically against the weight of the entire national party apparatus to perservere and appear onstage tonight. Perhaps now (?) they might concede that Tom offers Arnold and the party insurance and solid support if not leadership on policy issues.

I am still hopeful that a coalescing of support for one candidate (or the other ;-) will occur before election day. They'll have to make the call and I guess we get to watch (and comment ;-) as events continue to unfold...
