We Californians understand that if we lose this election, it will be a lot worse than if Arnold were to win and MAYBE get something done. We cannot take another 4-6 years of Democrats. There is really no choice. McClintock, qualified as he is, is NOT going to win. Therefore, Arnold is our best hope. This is not an abandonment of our principles, this is a pragmatic realization of what is actually happening out here. We blew it once by supporting Simon, when he had no chance. If Arnold does nothing but prevent things from getting worse, it is the best possible choice for us, because McClintock WILL NOT WIN. I like the man, but this is California, and HE WONT WIN. Arnold is the only way that we can prevent the Democrats from making things worse, and therefore, even as a McClintock supporter, I will be voting for Arnold.

I agree with you about electability. I don't think Cruz impressed anyone tonight, and I think that McClintock definitely set himself up for a run at Boxer.

You are correct in that Tom needs a personality infusion, but he's got time yet.

Be Seeing You,

Simon did not win, because you did not turn out and vote for him.
I was born in the dark, but is was not last night.
The California recall is not a re-do of the Governors election.It is a vote of no-confidence for the Governor the minority of the people of California could not stir to vote for in the last election.
I live in Florida.
I have no dog in this fight.
I do thank some of the people of California for trying to regain a measure of sanity amongst themselves.
But it is very offensive to the rest of the USA for so-called Republicans in Cali to say they are conservative,and learned about politics, and that the best they can do is elect an officially recognised RINO, no, not even a true RINO,just a celebrity who claims to be a pseudo RINO, as your governor.
Secede from the union!
We, the rest of the USA, will not stand in your way!

You sound like a CNN report from Iraq.
Everyone cowered in thier homes, in fear of their government.
They feared to talk amongst themselves.
They would be killed if the government suspected they did not worship the official party line.
I have a very limited capacity for compassion in the face of willfull ignorance, despite the undeniable face of a socialist vision of reality.
Vote for your leader, again.
Do not expect me to mourn your bad choices.
You are free, so far.

Yeah, go ahead and look your child in the eyes while you spout your self-justification for doing the wrong thing.
