I believe he will show the true greatness of his spirit --- and his deep understanding of the California scene --- by bowing out just in time.

"McClintock is considered a legislative loner with few legislative friends for his near two-decade pursuit of shrinking the state payroll." ===
Well, if he couldn't make friends in 20 years, how could he possibly be an effective governor, and work with the Dem Legislature? It is becoming more and more clear to me, that even if McC could win, Arnold IS a better choice for conservatives. And of course since Arnold Is a fiscal conservative, AND can win, and we need an effective fiscally responsible governor, there is really no contest between Arnold and Tom.

"My opponents say I'm the Ross Perot of this campaign, possibly siphoning off enough votes to hand the election to Democrats," he says, settling onto a shady park bench for an interview. "I say, 'Wait a minute.... Ross Perot was an idle millionaire, with no public-policy experience who one day on a whim entered the presidential race.' That sounds like another candidate in this race ... not me," he says, referring to muscleman/millionaire Arnold Schwarzenegger.

There's Tom, serving his party, building bridges, being noble and constructive.
And SO in touch with reality.

To: ambrose
Minor nitpick of the early-on Tom quote comparing Perot and Schwarzenegger: I don't think it was fair to say that either Perot (who was retired after 40 years of hard work, including decades building his own business) or Arnold (who works year-round) is or was "idle." He could have left that word out without losing anything, and he'd have looked bigger for doing so.

Republican candidate Tom McClintock laughs from deep in the belly when asked if he will be the "spoiler" in the great populist revolution/experiment/circus of California's gubernatorial recall electionWell I thought (Ross)nold's whole campaign was entirely based on his ability to provide "Leadership" in making "all the politicians in the Legislature work together." That Hollywood image bombed at the box office last night courtesy of Arriana's jabs and his ineffectual responses. So the only real spoiler in this is an (R)nold victory.

(That's pre-election bogus, Arnold Schwarzenegger.)
To: ambrose
Mr. McClintock has gradually emerged as the strong, third-place vote getter in polls - rising (at 14-to-18 points) while the two leaders - fellow Republican Schwarzenegger (26 points) and Democratic Lt. Gov. Cruz Bustamante (28 points) - tread water.
Yep them 3rd place voter getters are winners everytime.... and about a dime a dozen I'd guess.........
It would be nice for them to point out which tread water polls they are using....
I guess the endorsements that are coming McClintock's way may help get him over the top.... Maybe that is the hope.

Ever since McClintock leaped from 4 percent voter support to double-digits about three weeks ago, the pressure has risen for him to stop offering himself as an alternative to Arnold Schwarzen-egger that could hand the election to Democrats. But as more voters get to know him, his poll numbers have continued to rise, while Schwarzenegger's are flat.But he still remains DOUBLE DIGITS BEHIND!
In what fantasy world does that equate to a win?

(I'm voting for Arnold. McClintock doesn't deserve my vote!)
To: ambrose
Why in the world can't anyone see that it could be ARNOLD that also holds a big KEY??? After the debate last night, everyone here kept saying that TOM won the debate, that TOM was more qualified, that TOM stood for what we stand for,(tough immigration, prop54, etc) . WHY in the NAME OF COMMON SENSE, doesn't ARNOLD hold just as BIG A KEY?? just because HIS NUMBERS ARE HIGHER?? If everyone who is mouthing down Tom McCLintock would stand behind him, it would be ARNOLD that would need to be STEPPING DOWN. As I see it, HE will be the one that lost the election to BUsto.....whether or not HE was ahead in the POLLS or not. I will NOT SELL MY SOUL for a mess of porridge!!!!!!!
To: ambrose
"I got very little from the state GOP and was outspent by my opponent by 5 to 1," says McClintock. "Despite all that, I lost by less than 1 percent of the vote." The dirty little fact the "unelectable" propagandist do not want you to know
Liberal republican that controlled party money pulled it to sink conservatives in 2002

I'd like someone to ask this question of Arnold.
"Do you think you can do a better job than Tom McClintock?"
If it's no, then why is he standing in the way of the best Republican for California when he says he wants what is best for the State?
If it's yes, then he's got some explaining to do.

Marongo Band of Indians reported $ 850,000 TV ads for Tom McClintock.
