Nah, the fix is in. Tom trained his guns squarely on Bustamante tonight

If McClintock plays his cards the way I think, he will swiftly throw his support behind Arnold. He established National bona fides tonight, and if he steps aside for the party, it will not be forgotten by the powers that be.!!

Exactly. If he won tonight, has can claim a victory for the long term.

If he steps aside and for some reason Arnold still loses, I think he would still be in a good position for a later election. JMHO.
